  1. Proverbs

    Live horse and you will get grass.
    One Penny gets another
    A Bird in the hand is worth two in a bush.
    Leave horse and you will get grass.
    One penny gets another.
    A green Christmas makes a fat church-yard.
    One good turn deserves another.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    A dry Summer never begs its bread.
