enjoying a Jamaican Proverb

Jamaican proverb
“when you see an old lady run, don’t ask what’s the matter
you run too”
I read this and laughed
I am old lady
I get it.
If I am running
there is a bear, a bull or an alligator chasing me
or maybe an enemy with a machete
great advice and marvelous proverb
