財宝鬼来偸
In English
- Bad luck peaks, yet good luck does not come
- flowers open only in late autumn
- people's feelings do not fit together
- and a thief slips in to take your treasures
- Meaning
- The phrase that sets the tone is the first line's bad luck reaching its peak, a low point that still does not turn. Late flowers, mismatched feelings, and a thief after your treasures follow, so keeping an eye on your belongings and your relationships seems sensible.
- What to do today
- Before heading out, check once where you put your wallet and keys.
- A word from the capybara
- Favorite snacks are best tucked away where no one can find them.
