ENGLISH: IT HAS POMPOUSLY FOUND HIM.

This saying speaks of the people who went to see an Elephant in the village of Ndoleleji. This elephant was left by his companions in the Mangu River garden where it fed itself.

When the people saw it, they ran towards it in order to see it and there were many of them. One of them claimed to be familiar with such Elephant by approaching it. He stabbed it with a tree, because of his arrogance. The elephant turned and proudly followed such man who ran in the direction of the wind until he fell into the canyon. That is why people told him that, “it has pompously found him.”

He has problems of missing people who can to stay with him in his family, because of his self-deprecating knowledge of those colleagues in his life.

ENGLISH: I HAVE A RIDDLE – LET IT COME.

THE PARENT HAS LEGS BUT THE CHILD HAS NO LEGS – THE CHICKEN AND THE EGG.

The foundation of this paradox, looks at the life of chickens and the care of their chicks. The hen spends time to lay eggs and nurture them by hugging them well until when they are ripe. When the eggs are ripe they crack and give out a chick each one because of the good care of her. That is why people say that, “the parent has legs but the child has no legs – the chicken and the egg.”

This paradox is compared to the parent who takes good care of his children as they grow up, in his life. Such person perseveres in raising his children by talking to them every day, because of his love for them. He raises his children well, until they can help him well in his family, because of taking care of them by providing them with good upbringing in life.

This person resembles the hen that laid eggs and took good care of them until they ripen and give birth to each one, because he also takes care of his children by raising them well until they can help him well in his family. That is why people say about him that, “the parent has legs but the child has no legs – the chicken and the egg.”

This riddle teaches parents on how to take care of their children by raising them well, so that they can help them better in their families in their societies.
