    “Once a man worked with a farmer, who wished him to stay as he was a right good worker.”

    Once a man worked with a farmer, who wished him to stay as he was a right good worker. The workman on the other hand was anxious for a change, and duly served his notice. They both discussed the matter at some length & the farmer who thought he had won in the reasoning clinched matters by saying "A rolling stone gathers no moss".
    The labourer was quick to reply by saying "I know that a rambling bee gathers most honey."
    Its a small wind that would bend a blade of grass.
    A closed mouth catches no flies.
