Legend
I planted this tree so that the drum can resonate as much as possible. The proverb quoted here can be sent to someone who has shown generous or magnanimous behaviour with a view to being honoured and respected. For a drum to resonate well, it must be situated near the tree. Meaning: The need for marriage and complementarity of the sexes.
