What is gathered in straws goes in bundles
It is not the horse that earns the most oats ever gets it.
Covetuousness bursts the bag.
Seldom seen is wonderful.
May wet & windy fills the barns finally.
Saturday's moon seven years too soon.

“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.
