PROVERBS FROM CHINA
“In shallow water dragons become the laughing-stock of shrimps." "However high the tree, the shortest axe can reach the trunk." "The one-logged never stumble." "The lame duck should avoid the ploughed field." "He who h;is no money sees many bargains." "A tale half told is the father of many lies." "It is better to die two years too soon than to live one year too long." "No needle litis two sharp points."
