Cookie Brownie's Key Ideas from Africa
by Richard Dowden

To get lost is to learn the way.

A chattering bird builds no nest.

He who does not know one thing knows another.

A bird will always use another bird’s feathers to feather its own nest.

When the shepherd is away, the sheep will scatter.

The sun will shine on those who stand before it shines on those who kneel under them.

A single bracelet does not jingle.
