This week's question is about proverbs. A proverb is a well known short saying. It's a bit like an idiom but it usually contains some traditional wisdom or truth and is based on common sense.

In this programme we explain some proverbs that are used quite often in conversation. For example, a penny saved is a penny earned, means if you save rather than spend your money you will feel like you have earned more money.

Listen to the programme and find out if you should count your chickens before or after they hatch and how a stitch now will save nine in the future.
