    Old Sayings
    Catch your hare and then cook it.
    Working over the clay will soon put a man underneath
    A wet day the rain came.
    After a storm comes a calm.
    Snow will not lie on a hot stone.
    What would you expect from a pig but a grunt.
    Put silk on a pig and he will root.
    Constant dripping wears a stone.
    Let sleeping dogs lie.
