In bwami society there are realistic images that represent specific animals, such as the pangolin, the snake, the crocodile, or the kitende frog, which you see here. It has no defence against attackers but can blow itself up like a balloon. Some proverbs associated with this defenceless animal with the ability to inflate its body allude to the newly initiated novice who behaves arrogantly despite his inexperience. Other aphorisms compare the frog with the highest initiate, who – wise and calm – refuses to get involved in risky undertakings.
