Poor Richard's Almanac by Sydnee Turner

"A fat kitchen makes a lean will."

"The worst wheel of the cart makes the most noise."

The first thing I felt when i read the first maxim was how true. There have been times when my mom would buy huge amounts of junk food and I just wished it was all gone, just so I wouldn't regret eating it all two hours later. When there's accessible food only a room away it's hard to say no. No matter if the food was bought for a special purchase or if you know it'll give you the runs, it takes a lot to say "I'm not hungry" when food is surrounding you.

When I read the second proverb what immediately popped in my mind were three dancers breezing through choreography and one that could not avoid mistake. The first three dancers weren't given a second glance from the dancing director, but the music stopped when the fourth dancer couldn't mimic the steps of the latter three. Everyone was frustrated, upset, and annoyed at her lack of talent. The fourth incapable dancer caused a stir and ruined progress so in other words, making a noise.
