Eaten bread is soon forgotten.
It's no use crying over spilt milk.
Two birds in the hand are worth four in the bushes.
Little apples will grow big.

A long gathering gets a wide scattering
As hard as a stone.
Put a beggar on horse-back and he will ride to the devil.
Apples will grow again.

A burnt stick is easy kindled.
As old as Mathesula's goat.
The more the merrier.(continues on next page)
