    (continued from previous page)
    He is biting off more than he can chew.
    As strong as a lion.
    As weak as water.
    As wicked as sin.
    As big as a house.
    Put a stone on top of his head.
    As sly as a fox.
    As wise as an owl.
    As smart as a bee.
    As slow as a snail.
    Big head and no brains.
    Short and sweet like an ass's gallop.
