In English
- Guard against worry brought by strange events
- people and households drift apart
- cherishing the flowers, you meet with rain
- and a cup of wine stirs up idle quarrels
- Meaning
- The first half brings strange events and distance within the household; the second, rain on flowers you treasured and a quarrel over drinks. Misfortune of this sort tends to grow from small things, so keeping your words and behavior modest is the safer course.
- What to do today
- Before saying something that might sting, pause for one breath.
- A word from the capybara
- Flower viewing is off for the rainy day, so tea at home it is.
