    Old Sayings
    March trials, April thrives and May tells whether you'll live or die.
    Sing before breakfast you'll cry before night.
    Snow in winter means a good crop in Summer.
    Happy is the corpse that the rain rains on, and happy is the bride that the sun shines on.
    After a storm there comes a calm.
    The fishes see the new moon the first night, The fishes and the birds the second night, the fishes and birds and people the third night.
    Far away hills look green.
    What goes over the devils back goes under his belly.
    It is better to do well than to stay well.
