    Never judge a book by its cover.
    All light tasks were hard at first.
    Jests misplaced make hearers frown.
    April showers bring forth May flowers.
    Birds of a feather flock together.

    Some children make a May bush on May day. First they put a branch of a white thorn 'sgeac' into the ground. Then they cover it with empty egg shells, bits of coloured papers and primroses.
