Section 2
Proverbs often include animals. Let’s look at some examples/from two countries.
The first one is from Thailand. “Don’t ride an elephant/to catch a grasshopper.” When you are doing a small job,/a big tool is not useful. The second one is from Brazil. “In a piranha-filled river,/an alligator swims backstroke.” Before you get in trouble,/prepare for danger/and protect yourself.
Proverbs from different countries/often include familiar local animals. Because of their images,/people easily understand the messages.
