እኔ እበላው ሳጣ ልጄ ጥርስ አወጣ

✦

“When I found nothing to eat, my child grew teeth.”

Meaning

This proverb describes a situation where new responsibilities or burdens arise precisely when one is already facing extreme hardship. The speaker, lacking food for themselves, suddenly finds their child developing teeth, which implies a need for solid food and thus an increased demand on meager resources. It highlights the unfortunate timing of escalating difficulties.
