Keep a firm grip on what has come your way, for the mudzimu does not hand out a second time. No blessing, however small, should be scorned or thrown away in the hope of being given more later.
Cultural Context
“Said to someone tempted to give up a modest thing they already hold in the expectation of something better.”
