   Proverbs
   I hope you would like to know about a few proverbs which I know. They were told to me by old Mr. Rielly who lives about a half mile from Kinsealy. He is about eighty years old and he knows a lot of proverbs. He told me some proverbs and now I shall tell them to you. Now I will give you an example of a few about the horse.
   Once there was a man and he had a horse. The winter was in and he had no hay to give to the horse. This day he went out to the shed and said to the horse, "Live horse and you will get grass.
   He told me another few proverbs but not about the horse. If ever any one gets his clothes tore and stitches them in time you would say to him, "A stitch in time saves nine. You would say that because when you stitch anything in time you would save a lot of time afterwards.
   I will tell you more about the horse now. When the man told the horse to live the horse answered, "The horse will die while the grass is growing. Now I will tell you a few proverbs but I will not explain them.
   Its a rolling stone that gathers no moss.
   Look before you leap.
   The early bird catches the early worm. Some other day I might tell you more proverbs.
   A bird in the hand is wort two in the bush.
