Part II - Well Known Proverbs

Well, even though only one person, (my daughter-in-law Brandi) made the effort to comment on Part I, I suppose I should just accept the fear that readers have of admitting that they visited and give you Part II.

Here are those beginnings of those same "well known proverbs" from Part I. How did you do in filling in the blanks?

A first grade teacher collected them and gave each in her class the first half of a proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders. Their insight may surprise you. While reading these keep in mind that these are first graders..."6" year olds, because the last one is classic.
