  1. Proverbs Used Locally

    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Don’t ever count your chickens until they are hatched.
    Don’t grasp at too much or you will lose all.
    Nature breaks out through the eyes of the cat.
    Doctors differ and patients die.
    When the cat is out the mouse is dancing.
    Live horse until you will get grass.
    As long as the jug is going to the well it will be broken at last.
    Don’t ever take the book by the cover.
