This is an example of something that always wants more. AT: "Greed has two daughters" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# leech

a type of worm that attaches itself to the skin and sucks blood

# "Give and give" they cry

Another possible meaning is "and they are both named Give Me."

# There are three things that are never satisfied, four that never say, "Enough"

This use of the numbers "three" and "four" together here is likely a poetic device. AT: "There are four things that are never satisfied, who never say, 'Enough'" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-poetry]])

# are never satisfied

This can be stated positively. AT: "always want more" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-litotes]])
