Twenty-six English first-graders were presented with the first half of
several proverbs and were asked to provide the second half. I'd like you
to come up with the correct one (enjoy the children's version).
The vertical line indicates the end of the first half.
26. /ˈbetə ˈleɪt ðn ⎥ ˈpregnənt/
Next I'm going to add the correct version (or one of the correct ones) of each proverb.
