English Proverb: Many hands make light work
Many people have fond memories of their school days.
Unfortunately, though, being a school student also means enduring school assemblies.
In my school days, students would set up the chairs in the gym for each assembly.
It may have seemed like a mammoth task, but many hands made light work.
Many hands make light work means the more people working on a project, the faster it gets done and the less each person has to do.
When 30 students and two teachers set up the chairs for a school assembly, you can do it in 15 minutes.
The more people working on a project, the quicker it gets done, and the less each person has to do.
In other words, many hands make light work.
If only everyone in a family realized that when it’s time for spring cleaning or even just clearing the supper table, many hands will make light work for mom, too.
