羹に懲りて膾を吹く。

タオ チューン

, ,

A burnt child dreads the fire.
羹に懲りて膾を吹く。
あつもの に こりて なます を ふく。
Atsumono ni korite namasu wo fuku.

Meaning: A person who has suffered from doing something has learned to avoid doing it again.
Example: Once the child had got lost when her mother took him downtown. But a burnt child dreads the fire, so now he stays close to his mother when they are downtown.
