    As firm as a rock.
    As busy as a hen at a bag of oats,
    he day of the big wind is not the day to make the ropes.
    Mocking is catching.
    When the cat is away the mice can play. A wet May and a dry June makes the farmer whistlle a merry tunce.
    Thinking is bad wit
    Silks and satins often put out the kitchen fire.
