string of beads

 "A string is needed to gather scattered beads."   

How do you interpret the intended meaning of the above Somali proverb?

What real-life example might match your interpretation?


Literally, a string with a knot on one end and a needle on the other might be an excellent way to gather scattered beads. 

Figuratively?  A journal to gather scattered thoughts?  A meeting template / agenda to guide discussion meetings?  A whistle to gather children as the end of a recess period approaches?
