As the school yearcomes to an end,reflect on these wisewords, created bygrade schoolers whoadded their owntwists to somepopular proverbs:

A journey of athousand milesbegins with ... aprivate jet.

Don’t count yourchickens ... it takestoo long.

Two’s company,three’s ... themusketeers.

Better late than ...absent.

Early to bed, earlyto rise ... is first inthe bathroom.

If you can’t standthe heat ... tryAntarctica.

A penny saved ...is not a lot.

A rolling stone ...plays the guitar.

If at first you don’tsucceed ... livewith it.

It’s always darkestbefore ... I openmy eyes.

A miss is as goodas ... a mister.
