PROVERBS 101 (PART ONE)

So yesterday I stumbled on a couple of strange proverbs from different languages. The funny thing about these proverbs is that they share an extreme similarity with the culture and tradition of the people. But then why shouldn't they? That's why they're their proverbs right?
Well, here are a few of them. Some are funny but have a definite truth in them, others are just downright silly. But I won't decide that for you, you can make your own judgements for yourself.

1. “Take care of the pence, and the pounds will take care of themselves”. (German proverb)
2.  “One who finds a friend finds a treasure.” (Italian proverb)
3.  “May it be healthy for you” (Turkish proverb)
4. “A strong stomach makes a happy heart.” (Quechua proverb) And if you didn't know, Quechua is the most widely spoken Native American language in South America.
5.  “When the master’s not home, the chickens will get into the shrimp pot.” (Vietnamese proverb) 

What did I tell you? Funny, silly AND true. Anywho, part two of Proverbs 101 will be coming up soon. For now, have fun with this. See ya!!
