Toy Ny Voatavo Tsy Mifandraka Fa Zazabodo
This proverb compares a naive and clumsy child to a pumpkin that does not cling. Just as a pumpkin falls without clinging, this child lacks perseverance and initiative. The Malagasy proverb reminds us of the importance of autonomy and the ability to adapt to situations. The equivalent in English would be ‘Like a fish out of water’.
