ENGLISH: I HAVE A RIDDLE – LET IT COME.

IT HAS A BAD BENDING – A CAVE OF ANT BEAR.

The source of this riddle is the cave of a wild animal called Ant bear. The ant bear is a wild animal which digs large caves. These caves, some of them, are truly scary that other animals cannot dare to enter them after the ant bear abandons them. That is why people use the riddle that ‘it has a bad bending – a cave of ant bear’ to communicate the inability of other wild animals to enter the abandoned cave.

This riddle can be compared to a proud man/woman to his/her wife/husband. Such people can reach a point of looking down upon their fellow human beings. Also this cave can be looked at as a cave of sacrifice that the one who dug it sacrificed his/her life in order to have safe accommodation.

This riddle teaches people to stop being arrogant. They don’t have to despise others in their lives rather maintain love that can make them have a lovely society.

 MJOMBA HATAKI TUONANE:- KISOGO.

Chanzo cha kitendawili hicho, chaangalia kisogo. Kisogo hicho huwa nyuma katika upande wa kichwa, kama muumbaji wake alivyo kiumba. Macho yenyewe yako mbele ya kisogo, kama muumbaji wake alivyoyaumba.

Kitendawili hicho, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye aelewa kuzifanya vizuri kazi zake, maishani mwake. Mtu huyo, haingilii kazi za wenzake katika utendaji wa kazi zake, kwa sababu anafahamu mipaka ya kazi zake hizo.

Yeye huwafundisha pia wenzake, namna ya kuzitekeleza vizuri kazi zao hizo, bila kuingilia majukumu ambayo siyo ya kwao. Ndiyo maana yeye huwaambia watu kwamba, ‘mjomba hataki tuonane: – kisogo.’

MY UNCLE DOES NOT WANT TO MEET WITH ME- A NAPE.

The source of this riddle is a nape; the back side of the human head. The nape is always behind eye, as God created them. Therefore, the nape cannot see what is ahead of it and the eyes cannot see what a nape can see. This is why people can describe the relationship between the nape and eyes using the riddle that ‘my uncle does not want to meet with me – a nape.’

This riddle can be compared to a person who understands to do his/her job well in his life. This person does not interfere others in his/her doing of works because he/she knows the limit of his/her responsibilities. It can also be compared to a person who does well his/her works without compromising standards.

This riddle teaches people about how to understand and carry out their duties without compromising their responsibilities. This will enable them to achieve more in life because of their dedication to their assigned responsibilities.
