- (continued from previous page)Like the man at the fair, bought a cow in stead of bullock
He cried like the rain
If you fall do not wait to get up
As white as snow
As black as soot
As warm as wool
As dead as a door nail
Light footed mother makes a lazy arced daughter
Your eyes are bigger than your belly
A miserable woman is worse than a wet day
He would not be able to pull the stockings off a dead man
"It is all a cow" said the girl trying to milk the bull
