That’s right, I want you to find the answer. Because remember, my job as your teacher is to guide you to the answer. If I just gave you the answer without asking you to do the work, I’d be robbing you of your learning opportunity. No pain, no gain!

    Actually I am confused how to answer this proverb. I don’t know what “moss” means to be, either it goodness or wickedness. So I guess this proverb probably means that someone who keep moving from place to place will not gain either goodness or wickedness.
