sly and cunning
To loiter around town
an old horse
insignificant beings
little strokes fell great oaks
old age slows not strong ambition
a pigsty
a caged bird
wasted effort
a poor tiny village
To put your old bones to work
bad customs
No one knows when their time will come
violence; disruptive activity
stumble
monopolization
① To long for freedom ② To be homesick
elderly
chain
Ladies and gentlemen and children of all ages
