    If you never do anything but eat and sleep
    you will have nothing to wear but rags and tatters.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “[You (sing.)] do- not -be-like the drunkards and fond-of-eating/glutton, for that kind of people will- easily -become-poor. They just keep-on sleeping, therefore some time-later they will- just -cloth rags.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
