If Wishes were Horses or Sand ⌛
With
<p><span> IF WISHES WERE HORSES BEGGARS WOULD RIDE 🐴</span></p><p><br/></p><p>I actually think this saying isn't true. </p><p><br/></p><p>As we wish for our wishes to be horse(s) when last did we set our eyes on a horse not to talk of riding on them ? I know many will say 'haba ,I've seen several horses and even rode on them ....</p><p>me nko ? ......it's been months ,like months I last saw one (abeg no laff me 🤦😆😆)</p><p>Okay no qualms . Now what do we have to say about the beggars ? Is it the beggars that are struggling to get at least one square meal a day that will be bothered about horse or no horse ??</p><p> </p><p>Everyone knows how scarce and expensive(I don't know🤷) ,horses are especially in rural areas ,so this proverb , if to be well explained, will mean.........</p><p><br/></p><p> (1)Only the rich would be to ride horses and this will lead to their wishes being granted always and them becoming more richer</p><p> (2) The beggars will have to give up a lot of things to be able to ride a horse at least once e.g. they would have to become slaves to the rich or they would have to give out their families to the rich either as slaves, concubines etc. so as to have the resources to get a ride on a horse or get one .</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><span> With these few points, I think the suitable proverb should be *If wishes were SAND beggars would certainly gain free access to it * we all know that everything is scarce and expensive including water but one of the other things that can never get expensive is SAND, no matter what ,sand never dries up like water , it's everywhere and it is not sellable (not to be sold).It is for both the rich and the poor </span></p><p> </p><p>Once again I think we should change the proverb , * if wishes were horse * to "if wishes were sand ".</p>
