Brightener
A first grade teacher collected old and well-known proverbs. She gave each child in her class the first half of the proverb and had them come up with the rest. Here is what they said:
As you shall make your bed, so shall you --- mess it up.
Better to be safe than --- punch a fifth grader
Strike while the --- bug is close
It is always darkest before --- daylight savings time
Never underestimate the power of --- termites
You can lead a horse to water but --- how?
Don't bite the hand that --- looks dirty
No news is --- impossible
A miss is as good as a --- Mr.
You can't teach an old dog new --- math
If you lie down with dogs, you'll --- stink in the morning
The pen is mightier than the --- pigs
An idle mind is --- the best way to relax
Where there's smoke, there's --- pollution
Happy the bride who --- gets the presents!
Two' s company, three's --- the Muscateers
Don't put off tomorrow what --- you put on to go to bed
Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and ---you will have to blow your nose
If at first you don't succeed --- get new batteries
When the blind leadeth the blind --- get out of the way
