    (continued from previous page)
    A man was standing with his hands out and a bird lit on them and he said,
    "A bird in the hand is wort two in the bush",
    The longer you live the more you know. There was a man who lived in Ireland and he did not know enough news, and he wanted to know more. Another man said to him,
    "The longer you live the more you know."
