Definitions
mufuta: Shrub which is grown for the oil-rich seeds and as a hedge. Jatropha.
Translation
A goat climbs (over) the mufuta (hedge) just like all goats do.
Inspiration
While goats are browsers, the mufuta is inedible to animals. Goats will not feed on it. Jatropha cuttings are planted as a hedge to delimit and protect fields from wandering animals.
Application
The habits and behavior of children very often reflect those of their parents.
