KISWAHILI: FURAHA YA HARUSI IMEGEUKA KUWA HADITHI.

Chanzo cha msemo huo chatokea kwa watu walioko kwenye sherehe ya harusi.  Likitokea tukio la kushangaza, kama vile bibi harusi kwenda kujisaidia na kutoroshwa na mwanaume mwingine, furaha yile waliyokuwa nayo watu huisha. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, ‘furaha ya harusi imegeuka kuwa hadithi.’

ENGLISH: THE WEDDING HAPPINESS HAS TURNED INTO A STORY.

The source of the above saying comes from the wedding ceremony. During wedding ceremony we expect most of the people to be in a jovial mood. But, it may happen that the bride leaves the stage for a short call then instead elopes for another man thus causing the entire ceremony turn into a traumatic story. When it happens so, people can say ‘the wedding happiness has turned into a story.’

This saying can be compared to a person who enjoys something to the point of committing acts of shame in the eyes of other people around that place. This person, because of extreme joy, may overfeed thus, instead of making people continue enjoying the event they end up getting a new and tragic story of someone who suffers from overfeeding.

The saying teaches people to stop making derogatory remarks. This will enable them to have good life people around them.

KISWAHILI: BWAWA LIMEKAUKA.

Chanzo cha msemo huo chatokea kwenye ukaukaji wa Bwawa. Ukaukaji huo huleta mateso kwa viumbe waishio ndani ya Bwawa hilo.

Viumbe hayo ni pamoja na dagaa, samaki, vyura, na vingine vingi viishivyo kwenye Bwana hilo. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, ‘Bwawa limekauka.’

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa watu wale ambao wana tajiri wanayemtegemea. Watu hao humfikiria tajiri huyo kama kimbilio lao la kuwasaidia katika kutatua shida zao.

Tajiri huyo akifa, watu hao hukosa mtu wa kuwasaidia katika matatizo yao. Wao hufanana na viumbe waliokuwepo kwenye Bwawa lililokauka, kwa sababu nao hupata mateso ya kukosa msaada maishani mwao. Ndiyo maana watu hao husema kwamba, ‘Bwawa limekauka.’

Msemo huo hufundisha watu juu ya kuzifanya kazi zile wanazoweza kwa ajili kujipatia mahitaji yao, wakati wanapata msaada fulani, ili wasihangaike watakapo ukosa msaada huo.

ENGLISH: THE POOL IS DRY.

The source of the above saying comes from the dried pool that was a source of life of acquatic organisms such as frogs, fish, etc. The drying of the pool means death to these organisms.

This saying can be compared to rich people who tend to help others to make their ends meet. If it happens that the rich person dies or runs bankrupt it means that those who depend on him/her suffer miserably. That is why those people say ‘the pool is dry’ to communicate the suffering they undergo after their benefactor having either died or run bankrupt.

The saying teaches people to do their jobs they can for their own needs. They should’t depend so much on fellow human beings rather be independent. In so doing, they won’t have worries in life.
