“All forests have snakes / There is a snake in every forest.”

This salawikain means that wherever we go, we should always be cautious as there will always be someone that might betray or double-cross us.

Parents/elders would use this proverb to advise a person (usually in the younger generations) who is about to go into a journey. This is a useful reminder to those going abroad or migrating to another country – that, however friendly the place (where they are going) maybe, they should remain vigilant as there is always the danger of getting betrayed.

The cartoon would explain the proverb in a literal sense where the snakes are trying to make sure that all the forests have snakes.
