  2. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
    Little by little the bird builds her nest.
    Far away hills look green.
    Spare the rod and spoil the child.
    Tell me your name, company and I'll tell you what you are.
    Far away cows wear long horns.
    A burnt child dreads the fire.
    Two many cooks spoil the soup.
    Many hands make light work.
    A watched pot never boiled.
    A cute hen often laid out.
