Finishing the Waterhole by Gushing, the One Which Was Supposed to Be Fishing
<p>It is still the dry season in some parts of the country, causing a near-drought condition in our project area.</p>
<p>As a result, almost all of the tanks which do not have a direct water supply from a river have dried up, leaving only a few waterholes remaining here and there.</p>
<p>These waterholes are the last refuge for the fish in those tanks.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, some individuals attempt to take advantage of this dire situation by draining the water and capturing the fish. And they don’t mind their action that would create a shortage of fish for the upcoming season.</p>
<p>In the early days, this action was strictly prohibited because the community had no artificial breeding system. Therefore, only fishing with a rod was allowed.</p>
<p>Based on this incident, we have a saying: ‘<strong>Finishing the waterhole by gushing, the one which was supposed to be fishing</strong>’. It is similar to the idiom in English: ‘<strong>Don’t kill the goose that lays the golden eggs</strong>.’</p>
<p>These days, my friend Hammond is collecting a series of phrases and idioms. I never knew that we had so many. I invite all of you to have a look and broaden your knowledge.</p>
