Msemo huo huongelea juu ya maisha ya kuishi vizuri na watu. Alikuwepo mtu mmoja kwenye kijiji fulani aliyekuwa akiishi peke yake katika familia yake. Yeye alikuwa akijifikiria kwamba anaweza kufanya kazi zote katika maisha yake. Siku moja alishindwa kuifanya kazi fulani, mpaga wakaja watu wakamsaidia.

ENGLISH: TO LIVE WELL WITH YOUR FELLOWS IS GOOD.

This saying speaks about living a good life with people. There was a man in one village who lived alone in his family. He was thinking to himself that he could do all the works in his life. One day he could not do any work, and people came and helped him. That is why they told him that, “to live well with your fellows is good.”

This saying is compared to a man who is proud in his life. Such person, in turn, despises his contemporaries, because of his arrogance in his life. He fails to get along with people because of his arrogance of contempt for others, in his life.

This man is like the one who used to live alone in his family in a village, because he too is proud of him until his contemporaries fail to live with him. They leave him alone at his family. That is why these people said to him that, “to live well with your fellows is good.”

ENGLISH: HE/SHE HAS PUT IRON ROOF ON HIS/HER HOUSE.

This saying refers to the tin roofing house of a certain person. There was a man who lived in the village of Sanjo who started building his house. He carefully built and covered it with iron roof. That is why people said about him that, “he/she has put iron roof on his/her house.”

He is officially included in the group of elders who solve problems of people by pursuing justice and equality in the society. They use their wisdom to seek the truth in every case which is brought to them by their citizens in the societies.

This man looks like a iron house of a man who lived in the village of Sanjo, because he also has a white hairy head, like that iron roof. That is why people mock him, by saying that, “he/she has put iron roof on his/her house,” meaning that he has gray hairs on his head.
