Well known proverbs by children

A grade one teacher collected well known proverbs. She gave each
child 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 grade one kids ("6" year-olds), because the last
one is classic!
