Sayings of the old people

Collected over many years. I write them as I heard them:

• "A guest in the house is a guest of God, but only for three days."
• "The dog barks, the caravan goes on. But the dog has to bark."
• "Do not praise the road before the evening."
• "A word is not a bird, but it also does not come back."

Cholpon adds: and "Eat first, then you will understand the poem better". This one is grandfather's own.
