MAXIM
In Yoruba: A'soro iyan'ro lo pa Elenpe isaju t'oni igba wu'wo j'awo lo
In English: Answering a non-explicit question is what killed Elenpe the King, when he said the calabash is heavier than glass dish.
USAGE
This adage is used to remind people of the essence of choosing their words carefully so as not to be misunderstood.
FURTHER EXPLANATION
This adage reminds me of a Bible passage that says - Be quick to listen, be slow to speak, be slow to anger.
The story where these saying originated is about a King, whose own chief tricked into entering a wisdom test, where whoever fails has to commit suicide. After the King accepted the challenge, the chief asked "which is heavier, a dish or a calabash?" The king quickly answered that its obviously a calabash. The chief responded that the answer is wrong. The King was shocked and asked why the answer is wrong. The chief said he was referring to a dry calabash and not fresh calabash. Thus, the king had to commit suicide to keep his honor intact.
