Proverb 11: The frog's child is a frog.

Here is today's proverb:

蛙の子は蛙

And in romaji:

kaeru no ko wa kaeru

And English: "The frog's child is a frog."

I like this saying! Mostly just because I like frogs. I'm not quite sure how to give it a Buddhist twist: maybe I can think about this like karma and its fruits, karma and karmaphala.

My vocabulary for today:

蛙
かえる
