ENGLISH: I HAVE A RIDDLE – LET IT COME.

MY BROTHER HAS MANY WAISTS:- SUGARCANE.

The source of this riddle is sugarcane and its joints. Sugarcanes have so many joints that look like waists. Those sugarcane joints are being compared to waists. That is why people came up with a riddle that describes the structure of sugarcane in comparison to waists by riddling that ‘my brother has many waists – sugarcane.’

This saying can be compared to a person who understands his/her family history. That person understands well his/her parent’s history and that of his parents’ parents. He/she can teach history to his/her colleagues so that they can understand their past in terms of family geneology.

This saying teaches people about understanding their family history so that they can get to know each other better in their lives. This comes because people have so many generations that are inter-connected and sometimes cannot be easy to know them.
