Proverbs:
Ng
kora
omengelel
a
Laib,
el
mengang
e
melakl
> Eating like laib-while eating, burying.
The laib, a bird with a long, white tail, according to lore eats ripe fruit in season, as other birds do, but also gathers scraps dropped by other birds and buries them. When other birds are hungry, the laib will dig up the scraps and eat them. Hence, one should plan ahead for lean times.

Proverbs:
Mengii
