In the The Tale of John of the Ram's House there are three points of wisdom (proverbs). "Do not leave the old road (way) for the new road (way)." "Do not lodge in a house where there may be an old man married to a young woman." "Be struck twice before striking once." In the end, John followed all the advice as he was going home.
