Here's the ♥ link to an interesting interactive version of
Netherlandish Proverbs, the famous painting by
Pieter Bruegel the Elder.

When you click on the link, you'll see
a large white X -- X -- on the upper right-hand corner.
Click on that.
You'll get the interactive picture.
Use your mouse to place your pointer (mouse cursor)
on each small yellow ring in the interactive painting.
You will then be able to read the relevant proverb/idiom.
♥ Try to guess the proverb/idiom before
you put your pointer on each yellow ring!
♥ After you've read them all, try to remember each one.
That's a good way to test and train your memory.
On the upper left-hand corner is a small white box
with a plus and minus sign -- click them to make the
picture larger or smaller.
O By the way, if you can't see the small yellow rings,
look at the upper right-hand corner of the picture.
You'll see a small white box with something that
looks like a stack of three papers.
Put your pointer (mouse cursor) on that white box.
The word "Proverbs" will appear,
with a tiny box in front of the word.
Is the tiny box checked -- does it have a tick mark?
If not, click the word "Proverbs" -- to make a tick appear
in that tiny box.
You should then be able to see the small yellow
rings in the interactive painting.
Of all the proverbs/idioms, which one resonates the most with you?
Is there a similar saying in your own language
or in another language that you have learnt?
Share this interactive picture with your friends
and see how many they can guess correctly. ♥
