Mole don't see w'at his naber doin'.
I loved this Proverb, especially because in their neck of the woods, all the Brer animals knows what everybody is doing.

No truer words.
Dey bo'd inter de groun' en kep' on bo'in twel dey onloost de fountains er de yeth; en de waters squirt out, en riz higher en higher twel de hills wuz kivvered, en de creeturs wuz all drownded; en all bekaze dey let on 'mong deyselves dat dey wuz bigger dan de Crawfishes.
How cute is it that the elephants caused the deluge on accounts that they drowned everyone because they stepped on the crawfish when the little community was gathered around for a town meeting to hear the complaints of all the creatures. It is cute that they mention a lot of African animals that are not found in America as a part of the carry over from their homeland. Interesting to me though that they mention the unicorn. Makes me wonder if this they heard in stories from the Catholic/Christians.
