FIRST GRADE ANSWERS

A first grade school teacher presented each child in her classroom the first half of a well known proverb, and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It's hard to believe that the following were actually done by first graders, that is, six-year olds. Their insight may surprise you :

" Children are the hands by which we take hold of heaven "
