>Once again AWADtalk shows its vitalilty by morphing a thread into something quite different and equally delightful.

Just wanted to say thanks for the responses to the thread.

.. And add some of our translated proverbs ..

- Barking dogs bother not a walking elephant.
- An Elephant's teeth - one set to show off with, one set to eat with.
- The Elephant has gone by only his tail remains
- The elephant does not kill the ant it steps on.

The third is a particularly nice one which signifies some large ordeal that is almost getting over.
