Am gasot zam nodore- is a Rohingya proverb literally meaning a mango tree never produces jaam, a kind of black plum. It teaches not to expect much from a single source, as one can only work up to one’s capacity.

In the background of the illustration, we see the make-believe world where the jaam fruits also grow on the mango tree. It juxtaposes with the foreground where a dog is looking at the painting of a tiger showing the difference between one’s expectations and reality.
