Todays proverb

. Gutiri mundu wendaga
gutungana na nyoni njuru
Literal translation: Nobody wants to
meet an ill-omened bird.
Contextual note: To the Kikuyu many
birds foreshadow calamity. The cry of
the owl forebodes mishap. If the owl
cries, perched on the top of a hut,
the oldest man in that village will
die very soon. If someone, about to
make a journey, hears the cry of any
bird of ill- omen, he must not start
on any account.
English equivalent: Nobody seeks
his own ruin.
