  1. The people long ago had alot of proverbs. They used to say
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    The longest way round is the nearest way home
    What's engendered in the marrow will come out through the bone
    You will never miss the water till the well runs dry
    A friend in need is a friend indeed
    The more hurry the less speed
    You should never buy a pig in a bag
    A good beginning is half the work.
