    leap once.
    New brooms sweep clean.
    Age is honourable.
    Divide small and serve all.
    A bright heart lives long.
    This saying is said when a fire is put down. If the fire lights the one who put the fire down is said to have a bright heart. If it does not light the one who put it down is said to be black-hearted.
