- (continued from previous page)15) "What is it the more you take from it the bigger it gets."?
A hole.
- Rome was not built in a day.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
A stitch in time saves nine.
A green Chirstmas, makes a fat grave-yard.
A bird in the hand, is worth two in the bush.
You will never miss the water, till the well runs dry.A rainbow in the morning, is the sheperds warning,
A rainbow at night is the sheperds delight.Too may cooks spoil the broth.
Many hands make light work.
A half burned sod is easy kindled.
Time is a great fortune teller.
It is a long road without a turn.
Dont leave for to morrow, what you can do to day.
The early bird catches the worm.
A burned child dreads the fire.(continues on next page)
