  2. One bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    Many hands make light work.
    Empty vessels make the most noise.
    He who grasps too much looses all.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    As busy as a hen at a bag of oats.
    There is no fire side like your own fire side.
    As red as a coal of fire.
