- (continued from previous page)Two men were going hunting one day and they had two days. They met a hare and the dogs ran after him and caught him. The dogs took a bit of flesh off his forehead and he got away. He jumped into an old house and the man looked in to see the hare. What did he see but an old woman and a piece gone off her forehead.
- It is a bad wind that doesn’t blow good for somebody
An idle man tempts the devil
The more hurry the less speed
A stitch in time saves nine
Where the women are there is talk.
Don’t look at all you see and don’t listen to all you hear(continues on next page) - Collector
