LARK


It is a common scene in a kindergarten playground that children are singing, dancing or playing merrily. They are enjoying a good time. They are as happy as a lark – a lark often sings merrily while it is in flight.

Early to bed, early to rise – we all know this is a good habit. Rise with lark, do some exercise in the pure morning air, and you will begin a new day feeling fresh and energetic.

“If the sky falls, we shall catch larks.” This is a playful reply to some wild scheme. Suppose someone speaks of a plan of setting up ten more universities in Hong Kong in a few years, you can say this proverb as a comment or reply.
