Publisher's Synopsis
It's probably obsolete in your vocabulary, but in the South, it's like second nature. Sometimes I think people are bilingual in a different way. Old sayings and wise tales--they make you smile, laugh, and think. It shows examples of listening, showing respect, courting, and reasoning with people. It shows how creative people were in their thinking without realizing it. People had charisma; two cents' worth of advice was worth a million dollars. It benefits listening to your elders; everything they say ain't crazy! You live, and you learn. Understanding different ways of communicating can be useful and real.
