English Translation
Wasp, settle yourself in one place — the world's flowers will never be exhausted. A narrow escape should be taken as a warning: having got away once, with injuries, a person should be careful afterwards and not walk back into the same danger.
Cultural Context
“Said to someone who should be content where they are instead of chasing every new attraction, and to one who has come through a close call and should not court it again.”
