ትንሽ ሽሮ ባገኝ ጨው የለኝም እንጂ ተበድሬ ወጥ እሰራ ነበር

✦

“If I found a little shiro, I don't have salt, but I would borrow and make 'wot'.”

Meaning

This proverb illustrates a person who constantly finds excuses or demonstrates a chain of dependencies that prevent them from taking action. It implies a lack of initiative or a cycle of unfulfilled plans, always citing a perceived missing element, even when a solution (like borrowing) is within reach. It can also depict extreme poverty where one necessity hinges on another.
