Kuria Proverbs of KenyaA black ant will not bite another black ant. A debt between children born by the same mother is paid in a clever way. No one can perform a celebration by himself. One person is a thin porridge; two or three people are a lump of ugali. Slowly, slowly, porridge goes into the gourd.
Slowly, slowly, porridge goes into the gourd. Stream, it knows where to flow. When the rock is not around, the small stone sits there. When you mention the person with one eye, the one with the eye problem reacts. When you spread it in the sun, it becomes dry. The thing that kills someone is small. The rat does not help the other rat to peel a piece of maize. The possessor may become dispossessed. The one who is praised, comes forth to chant. HTML Comment Box is loading comments...
