FRENCH FLORA & FAUNA
FLORA & FAUNA
A black hen lays a white egg.
A wise fox will never rob his neighbours hen roost.
And old rat is a brave rat.
Cats like man are flatterers.
Don't imitate the fly before you have wings.
Every bee's honey is sweet.
Feather by feather the goose can be plucked.
It is a stupid goose that listens to the fox preach.
It is only the tree loaded with fruit that the people throw stones.
One flower will not make a garland.
Rats desert a sinking ship.
The old dog barks not in vain.
The stable wears out a horse more than the road.
The wolf knows what the ill beats thinks.
To take the rat by the tail.
Well knows the cats whose ear she licks.
What is not good for the swarm is not good for the bees.
Where rosemary grows the wife wears the trousers.
