“Telugu:
ఎంతప్రొద్దు వుండగా లేచినా, తుమ్మగుంట వద్దనే తెల్లవారినది”
English Translation:
However early he rose the day always dawned while he was at the Tumma tank.Tumma is the Acacia Arabica. Tanks are often named from the trees planted around them. The earlier the man got up the more he dilly-dallied on the strength of it, so the sun always found him at the tank, in the way to his work.Early up, and never the nearer.
