They use a well known proverb concerning their food, referring to their work for other people's cattle. "The one who cooks does not eat the food." "We just take care of the cattle, but they belong to other people. The one who cooks does not eat the food. Snakes glide through the meadows, and go into the forests." Herd boy song.
