Proverb #179

“Ụra tọ[ọ] ụtọ, e kwoo-ya-ekwoo ...”

"When the sleep becomes enjoyable, we relish it with a snore"

One snores when he is in deep sleep. The snore a testament to the depth of the sleep. This metaphor provides guidance that is useful to anyone in any endeavor. I bet the last time you started a new job, your employer told you, you would be on probation for however long. If the two parties (employer and yourself) found the arrangement satisfactory and there were no negative incidences, you'd be upgraded to full/regular status. You see your employer was applying the wisdom of this proverb. Try it first, then if it is enjoyable, you upgrade and enjoy it fully.Whether its a job, business deal or even a relationship, we can expect that when the sleep becomes enjoyable, we snore!
