  There is nothing to blame about it,
  But the fish is not for the guests.

  Danger exists, but not much blame.
4.Fish is not found in the kitchen;
  Misfortune may come along.
5.Like willow leaves spreading over the melon,
  You are waiting for the right opportunity.
  When the time comes,
  You will have what you expect.
6.Staying in a remote corner,
  You will not have what you expect.
  There is grief, but nothing to blame.
