There's always that moment when you need to buy a gift, and the budget says one thing while your heart says another....
The Neapolitan proverb "panell' senza mazz fann e' figl pazz" (bread rolls without the stick make for spoilt children) has been passed down through generations. This message is well known to many people, not only within Italy's borders, and, surprisingly, has very ancient origins, dating back to the Old Testament. This shows how proverbs are keepers of wisdom passed down from generation to generation.
