381 ATTACK – FIGHTING
Ants can attack with a grain of rice MADAGASCAR
Attack is the best defence ENGLAND
One must not shoot a glass arrow into a painted deer EGYPT
If you had not been among the crows, you would not have been shot SCOTLAND
Never show your teeth unless you can bite IRELAND
Don’t show a hyena how well you can bite KENYA
If you want an audience, start a fight CHINA
One does not distribute sweetmeats in a fight INDIA
The one who will fight will find a cudgel in every hedge ENGLAND
One dog can’t fight IRELAND
Those who run away will fight again GREECE
It takes two blows to make a battle ENGLAND
Don’t lead with your chin USA
The second word makes the fray JAPAN
