Introduction

Old-time sayings or what others might call proverbs are the staple of almost every Jamaican household.
One is often times repeated serval times to create emphasis. I myself have heard my fair share of them non-stop, but the one my mother said the least was the one I learnt the hard way.
If only the proverb
"EVERYTHING THAT GLITTERS ISN'T GOLD" would have been repeated and stained my memory maybe what happened to me would have been avoided.
