Emma with her saying: “Steinn pr\u00f3far gull, en gull menn” or “Stone tests gold, but gold tests men.” Bjarki got “Oft er vitur ma\u00f0ur seinn til svars” or “Often a wise man answers late.” Anna got: “\u00deeir fiska sem r\u00f3a” or “Those fish that row.” Finnur got: “Breg\u00f0ur barni til \u00e6ttar” or “A child resembles the family.” I got: “Miki\u00f0 vill meira” or “Much wants more.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
