Warn that stream
Bent on flowing to the desert
That the desert only takes
It never gives
Let the stream beware
Warn that cow
Bent on going to the abattoir
That the abattoir only takes
It never gives
Let the cow beware
Warn that wood
Bent on confronting the fire
That the fire only takes
It never gives
Let the wood beware.
From an African prose sanctioning traditional warning.
