“The child of the Abay (Blue Nile) was thirsty; the child of the barber was eaten by lice.”

Meaning

This proverb highlights irony and paradox, describing a situation where someone lacks something they should have in abundance or suffers from a problem that their profession or heritage should ideally prevent. It points to extreme neglect, oversight, or a failure to benefit from one's own resources.
