O happy day! I cannot believe you did not place with this one! It is quite good! More, in fact! I for sure, had I not been to lazy to read any of the "Proverbs", would have voted for this! It is equally balanced... a little bit of humour, a little bit of wisdom... great stuff. I loved all of the proverbs, but my favourite was 'Only a fool tests the depth of the water with both feet!' assuredly! That was so funny! The last proverb was a stroke of genius. Where on earth did you find all of them?
   My few problems were when you had Legolas say "happy fetch one." when you needed a 'to' in there. Also, Estel's reply “Legolas, what are you talking about and why are you dragging me out of bed so early?” seemed awkward. I think you need to break it into two sentences, like this: "Legolas, what are you talking about? Why are you dragging me out of bed so early?" In my mind, (mind you), it seems better for the flow of the story, separating the two, since they are so different. Other than that, I'm good. I've never thought about having to learn to fall off the horse! It has been in my mind that you only need to stay on! Good stuff! ^_^! Thanks for the review on my story, again!
