The Fig Tree Fruit English Version

Fig tree fruit...fig tree fruit...fig tree fruit Eaten by toddlers...fig tree fruit! Gave elders stomach ulcers Be careful for this is a fishing bridge Elders warned... Play not here lest you tumble into the river and drawn Adamant!....the fig tree fruit Birds do not play on a sticky trap They emphasized Rebellion!....the fig tree fruit That is sweet and also this! “Made a jumpy greedy cat fall on its back” Wisdom of ages not heeded....fig tree fruit! That one is better than this one... She said...infidelity! Where is he now....tears! “Snuffing tobacco is the one already in your nose” A sound adage...”for the one on your finger belongs to the wind” Regret! A husband is worth your respect...treasure him “Spite not a male grasshopper”...never forget... Wealth is not love...love it not!...good advice “A foolish woman tares down her home with her own hands” Says the WORD!...a fig tree fruit Guard your ears For hearsay destroys the home Watch your words They are seed...in due time you will reap! Tears you will shade...to your knees regrets you shall whisper.... No comforter Naivety is what you are doing...warning! Halt before you are haunted Where you are staying keep your eyes open For trouble is bred by those close to you.... In your sojourn...remember... Jealousy, envy and malice abounds Plotters and schemers are always around To some places...revert not For foes there your life can snare The fig tree fruit!
