Munhu ane doro richiri kubikwa ndiye anonzi ane hwahwa. Uya ane riri kunwiwa anotonzi rake rapera. Vanhu vanotarisira betsero ichauya kupinda iya yavanenge vatoshandisa Kare.
English Translation
The good farmer is the one with a granary; what was there today is already finished. The man said to have beer is the one whose brew is still on the fire, not the one whose beer is being drunk up.
Cultural Context
“Used of the way people set their hopes on help still to come rather than on what has already been used up.”
