733. Sketches of Curaçao Wisdom (Part 5)

By / / Art, Papiamentu, Proverbs / 6 comments
Let sleeping dogs lie
To scream like a stuck pig
The knife is the only one who understands the heart of the watermelon / Only the wearer knows where the shoe pinches
When tamarind craves sugar, satisfy its craving / It is time to set in when oven comes to the dough / When petticoats woo, breeks may come speed
He’s a sugarcane rat / He’s a cunning mofo
Where there’s sugar, there are ants / A fly follows the honey

ALL PROVERB PRINTS BY ANGUINE HODGE.
