ENG. (litteral translation) "Long things become snakes"

Here's another modern abruzzese version of the "Carpe Diem" (Seize the day) philosohy. However in this proverb the stress is put on the negative consequences that excessive procrastination can have on the pursuit of people's objectives in life.
