પાદે રડતું હોય તો પાયખાને જવાની શી જરૂર?

pādē raḍatuṁ hōya tō pāyakhānē javānī śī jarūra?

Literally
If farting makes one cry, what need is there to go to the latrine?
What it means
Said of someone who breaks down or panics over a minor inconvenience before the actual difficulty has even begun.

ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1921) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · English is machine-made and nobody has checked it yet

Heard it differently, or know we've got the sense wrong? Tell us — that is exactly the kind of correction this needs.
