My son always heed the wisdom of the old
What an old man sees sitting under a tree, a young man on the tree does not see.
Grey hair is packed with wisdom
Always learn from old wisdom.
It used never to be like this my son
Nowadays people live lone lives.
In the old we lived like a community. I functioned because I belonged to the group.
Nowadays people do not know and rarely talk to their neighbors.
Girls used to guard what they have with all their stength. Being a virgin was valued in the society.
It is not so nowadays
One girl's nakedness has been seen by many. Private parts are no longer private but public goodies.
Marriage was actually done by the community
They chose the bride for the bridegroom. The bride and bridegroom never had a say.
Things have really changed. Girls of today can rarely cook.
The bride's of you're were tested in cooking methods. They were taken to the farm to dig. Even they fetched water as a test for marriage.
Not now my son.
Bride's are even picked from the city. We rarely know their parents. Neither do we know their character.
My son, boys were educated in the ways of the clan during initiation. They were taught to hunt and care for their family.
Not so now my son. Most of the Education our boys have come from schoo
