Cautionary proverb warning against fleeing a minor trouble only to fall into a far worse predicament.
Escape water only to sit in fire / Out of the frying pan into the fire
toka baridi ingia moto
"Alijiuzulu kazi na sasa hana chakula; aliruka maji akakaa motoni."
Translation: He resigned his job and now lacks food; he jumped out of water into fire.
