Aza Atao Famaky Manan-Tsiny Amin'izay Kiakiakin'ny Akoho.

This proverb suggests that we should not accuse or blame tools or objects for the outcomes of our own actions. If the chicken cries, it is not the axe’s fault but that of the person who wields the axe. In other words, it is unjust to hold a third party or an inanimate object responsible for actions for which we are directly responsible. This is akin to saying, ‘Do not blame the tool but the craftsman’.
