There's a proverb in the tale of John of Ram's House: Take care you don't stay in a house where there's an old man married to a young woman. I rewrote it. Take care you don't drop a toy on the floor in a house where there's a young dog residing, with teeth for biting. This was a camel! Another saying is; Don't leave the old road/way for the new road/way. Sometimes we cannot choose. This year will come to an end soon, and it must be put behind us to grasp the new year. The calendar is going ahead. December will give way to January.
