5. "Proverbs".As tired as a dog.
As fat as Bumbo Green.
As hungry as a hunter.
As fast as a hare.
As full as a tick.
As thin as a herring.
As wet as a drowned rat.
As dry as a gurnet.
As drunk as a Lord.
As deaf as a beetle.
As weak as a rush.
As slippery as an eel's waistcoat.
As bitter as gall.
As sweet as honey.
As rich as a duke.
As red as blood.
As ugly as sin.
As mad as a hater.
As tough as a gad.
As bold as a banb.
As cute as a fox.
As sweet as a nut.
As light as a feather.
As blind as a bat.
As cold as ice.(continues on next page)
