To scare a bird is not the way to catch it, [54]

To see the sky through a funnel, [261]

To see the mote in another’s eye and not the beam in your own, [307]

To sell a cat for a hare, [261], [295]

To sell honey to a bee-keeper, [131], [261], [295]

To sell the bird in the bush, [131]

To sell the skin of the bear before it is caught, [131]

To send one arrow after another, [215]

To sew the fox’s skin to the lion’s, [14]

To shave an egg, [313]
