Need read the excerpt from "daughter of invention". "maybe not. maybe, just maybe, there's something they've missed that's important. with patience and calm, even a burro can climb a palm." this last was one of her many dominican sayings she had imported into her scrambled english. which english idiom has the same meaning as the one underlined in this excerpt? we’re all in the same boat. you are barking up the wrong tree. let sleeping dogs lie. slow and steady wins the race.

explanation:

the silver bells of the sleds are merry and keep time in the winter nights while the sky twinkles happily. the golden bells of weddings are delightful in their peaceful happiness, foretelling a rapturous future. meanwhile, the brazen alarm bells scream frightfully in the night, with a discordant and desperate sound. in their clamor, these bells convey terror, horror, and anger. finally, the iron bells are solemn and melancholy, while those in the church steeple are like ghouls who feel happiness. the king of the ghouls, who rings the bells, cheerfully keeps time with the moaning and groaning bells.
