Re: Do not pretend to be a sheep - the wolf will eat

Hello Lydia,
Ah sheep stories, proverbs and tales (tails) Coming from a
sheep raised country, I know lots..

Like lambs to slaughter.

Might as well be hanged as a sheep as for a lamb

There is a black sheep in every flock

Considered the black sheep of the family

Who makes himself a sheep will be eaten by the wolves

Don't set the wolf to tend (guard) the sheep

A wolf in sheep's clothing

You have to separate the sheep from the goats

Happy birthday Alain, nice to see one more Aries between us!

Revenir à ses moutons ‹досл.: to Return to our rams; sense: to Come back to former conversation›.

To Return to our rams


Happens, during reading of the report the lecturer makes lyrical digression from a theme or in the heat of dispute discussing people depart aside from a discussed subject. Often enough in such cases speak: «we Will return to our rams», and again pass to the basic theme which is thus not so necessarily connected with rams. Such saying whence undertook? This expression — a tracing-paper from French revenons à nos moutons, used already more than half-thousand years. These words are taken from a farce "Lawyer Pierre Patlen" in whom the rich clothier in court accuses the shepherd of theft of sheep, however on a session course constantly forgets about it and switches attention to the lawyer which has run into debt to it for cloth. The judge interrupts angry speeches of the clothier by a phrase «we Will return to our rams», the winged which has become subsequently.

Wainting more proverbs about seeps and rams, Lydia

Hallo Amanda, thanks for proverbs.

But not allways it is so bad for sheeps

Russian saying:

"И то бывает, что овца волка съедает." -

"And that happens that the sheep of a wolf eats."

юмор

Waiting more proverbs about seeps and rams, Lydia

Thanks, Luka, the first that did came in my mind - Russian children's song from Cheburashka film

((youtube id="zaEmZx49BA4"))((/youtube))

And the reason I'm so merry today...


And I'm playing the accordion
And all people gaze at me
It's a pity, that the Birthday is just once a year...

Best wishes to all, to Aries - especially!

   

Lydia (Aries)
