When brothers quarrel, take a hoe and go and dig; and when they make it up, take a basket and patter the crop.

When an oxhorn of a news man is sounded, something is wrong.

When a poor man gets something he boasts of his new wealth.

When a bull gets his leg broken, he is sure to go back to his yard.
