LIW №43

Learn by heart the idioms of the lesson and the poem.

The apple of his parents` eye,

He was their only son and heir.

His every wish they gratified

And cherished him with loving care.

But infancy soon over, the darling boy was growing, as spoiled as he could be.

They took him to the mullah then,

Great things they hoped to come.

The teacher proved an ignorant

The boy learned nothing from.

He did show promise as a child, the parents could not be so blind, but that`s love is said to be.

Abai Kunanbayev (Translated by Olga Shartse)

GRAMMAR COMMENT

Proverbs

A proverb (from Latin: proverbium) is a simple and concrete saying popularly known and repeated, which expresses a truth, based on common sense or the practical experience of humanity. They are often metaphorical. A proverb that describes a basic rule of conduct may also be known as a maxim. If a proverb is distinguished by particularly good phrasing, it may be known as an aphorism.

Examples: "The wise woman builds her house, but the foolish tears it down with her own hands. "

"A wise man is strong, and a man of knowledge increases power."
