- A Story
Once upon a time there was a woman who had one son. His name was "Lame Charlie". They were very poor. One fine summer day they were out begging and Charlie's mother got very tired and she lay down under a tree. She fell asleep. She was not long sleeping until a big fly came and rested on her nose. Charlie had a stick and he raised it above his head, he came on the woman's nose, thinking he would kill the fly, but he broke his mother's nose instead and the fly got away. Then he had to run for his life and his mother after him.

Old Sayings.
A stitch in time saves nine.
A new broom sweeps clean, but the old one knows the corners best.
It is not the money that one earns that makes one rich, but what one saves.
Take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves.
