@inkofancestors: Simple meaning: A person may feel proud, overconfident, or successful for a short time, but reality eventually shows them the truth. The proverb teaches humility. Just as a falling lizard may think it is flying, people can sometimes mistake temporary success or excitement for real achievement until circumstances bring them back to reality. #africanwisdom #africanproverbs #homeofafricanproverbs #inkofancestors #proverbs
