Proverbs from children

I am sorry I don't usually do this but I had to share with some one.
This must be a class outside of Ontario, we are supposed to have a cap of 20 children here.

A 1st grade school teacher had twenty-six students in her class.
She presented each child in her classroom the 1st half of a well-known 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, keep in mind that these are first-graders, 6-year-olds, because the last one is a classic!

1. Don't change horses ..... until they stop running.
2. Strike while the ..... bug is close.

LOL, that reminds me of my own insights when I was 6. What good laugh I used to give to the class!

Actually, kids are smarter than you think they are. And then are the "where I came from?" questions

P.S. I like proverb no. 25
