Baba Yaga often quotes proverbs when she talks to Marinka. (Proverbs are short sayings that contain traditional wisdom or advice.) 

Here are a few of Baba’s proverbs- what do each of them mean to you? 

  • It’s not how long a life, but how sweet a life that counts. 

  • Beware the goat from the front, the horse from the rear and the living from all sides. 

  • The morning is wiser than the evening. 

  • The nightingale that sings finds a song. 

Key Question: What other proverbs have you heard, and what do they mean to you?  

Share, discuss, make notes and research further! 

TASK 

Spend a bit of time researching proverbs and make a bullet pointed list of the ones that you like, with their meanings. 

Here are some to get you started: 

  • The only way to be a friend is to have one. 

  • Actions speak louder than words. 

  • A bad workman blames his tools. 

Challenge: Can you make a proverb of your own? 

If you have time, you can try and make up some of your own. A tip to help you with this would be to think of an important message first and think of a clever way you could say this.
