2. Even an old woman may run when a goat carries her snuff-box.
3. A man who is advised and he takes it, is still a man who acts from his own free will.
4. When a ripe fruit sees an honest man, it drops.
5. It is one person in a street that kills a dog and the street is named a street of dog killers.
6. When a fowl gets to a new town, it stands on one leg until it knows that it is a town where people stand on their two legs.
7. When a face is sullen it remains there to be seen on its owner.
8. When a woman cannot have good palm-nuts to give her rich oil, she still has to maintain decency in order to remain one of those that sell good quality oil.
9. A man who has one finger pointing at another has three pointing towards himself.

12. Greatness and beauty do not belong to the gods alone.
13. Anyone who urinates in a stream should be warned because any of his relatives may drink from the water.

16. Our examples are like seeds on a windy day, they spread far and wide.
17. A clay pot of water is never hot-tempered.
