bone
see
what's BRED in the bone will come out in the flesh
;
you BUY land you buy stones
;
a DOG that will fetch a bone will carry a bone
;
HARD words break no bones
;
the NEARER the bone, the sweeter the meat
;
STICKS and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me
;
while TWO dogs are fighting for a bone, a third runs away with it
