44. Ça qui boudé manze boudin. (Celui qui boude mange du boudin.)

“He who sulks eats his own belly.” That is to say, spites himself. The

pun is untranslatable.[20]--[_Mauritius._]

[20] _Boudin_ in French signifies a pudding, in Creole it also

signifies the belly. Thus there is a double pun in the patois.
