    (continued from previous page)
    A wet and a windy May fills the haggard with oats and hay.
    Candlemas Day throw candle and Candle-stick away.
    March will search,
    April will try,
    And May will tell you whiter you will live or die.
    Young children and fools should keep away from the heels of mules.
    You may think I'm a liar, but I'm not.
    Young children sould'nt handle edged tools.
    Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man, healthy, wealthy and wise
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    An empty bag will not stand.
