3. "Proverbs"As tired as a dog.
As thin as a herring.
As wet as drowned rat.
As dry as a gurnet.
As hungry as a hawk .
As strong as a horse.
As smart as a hare.
As tall as a steeple.
As drunk as a lord.
As deaf as a beetle.
As thick as a board.
As sweet as honey.
As black as soot.
As bitter as gall.
As mad a hatter.
As tough as a gad.
As rich as a Jew.
As white as snow.
As red as blood.
As red as a fox.
As full as a tick.
As sweet as a nut.
As light as a feather.
As blind as a bat.
As cold as ice.(continues on next page)
