  1. It is many an old saying I have her but I never heard of any story referring to an old saying Here are some of the old sayings.
    1. Make hay while the sun shines
    2. A stitch in time saves nine
    3. When the cat is out the mouse can play
    Many hands make light work
    A fool and his money soon parts
    A rolling stone gathers no moss
    All light tasks were hard at first
    Too many casks spoil the broth
    Spare the red and snail the child
    A wise man carries his coat on a fine day
    Never leave what you can do to day till moron
    The days of the wind is not the day of the scallops
    There is no fire place like you own
