A growing youth has a wolf in his belly proverb
Youngsters who are developing into adults tend to feel hungry and eat a lot.
A: My adolescent son's asked me if there was anything to eat though he had just eaten dinner one hour ago! B: Haha, a growing youth has a wolf in his belly, you know.
When I was a teenager, my parents tended to encourage me to eat more because they think that a growing youth has a wolf in his belly.
The origin of this proverb is not clear.
Do you see anything wrong?
If you swallow the bait, you take something that someone offers you, or agree to do something that someone asks you to do without knowing that it is a trick or way of getting something from you.
You can't just do whatever he wants you to do. Don't swallow the bait.
