🍂Common Proverbs in English🍂
🥀
🍃 MEANING 🍃
If something takes time to do, it doesn’t help to constantly check on it. You just have to give it time.
🍃 EXAMPLE 🍃
“I know you think he’s going to be a great guitar player one day, but stop criticizing him so much. He just started taking lessons two weeks ago! A watched pot never boils.”
🥀
🍃 MEANING 🍃
If you’re in a bad situation and someone offers to help you, you have to take whatever they give you and shouldn’t ask for more
🍃 EXAMPLE 🍃
“I was unemployed, and they offered me a job cleaning prison toilets. I didn’t like the job, but I accepted it. Beggars can’t be choosers.”
