CHILDREN SOLVE THE MYSTERIES OF MARCH.

It means that a few days it will be some bad weather. And the lamb part means the last day of March is nice weather. Sometimes they switch off.

I have heard a lot of crazy sayings in my life. But this a duesy. This one is, ``March comes in like a lion  and goes out like a lamb.'' Finally, I actually know what it means. It means ``March starts out stormy because a lion is noisy like a storm.'' Then, ``March ends calm and smooth like a lamb'' because a lamb is quiet or calm.

I think this means March comes really fast and goes very slow. I think this because it's already February and March is coming soon exactly like the speed of a lion, and when we get to March it takes a while to get through it. It goes like the pace of a lamb, which goes very slow.

March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. To me, I think that this means that the part about the lion is because the wind will blow hard. The lamb part means that it will be peaceful when March is over.

Lion is bad it brings bad luck. In the beginning of March the weather is bad. But at the end it is like a lamb. It isn't too windy it isn't too dark. It is not rainy it is just calm. Lamb is very useful a lion is like a monster running through the weeds. A lamb is a beautiful animal. A lion is very mean.

March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb means it comes in harsh like a lion. Harsh with rains, wind and snow.

When they say it goes out like a lamb it becomes calm. Flowers bloom and spring comes.

What they are trying to say about that saying is in the beginning of March there is a lot of storms, wind, and thunder. And in the ending of March it is pretty and sunnie and warm.

I think it means it comes in fast because it is close to the beginning of the year. Thats what it means when it says March comes in like a lion. Since it is not close to the end of the year it goes real slow. Thats why they say it goes out like a lamb.

In the beginning of March it was like a lion because it is strong, scary and cold hearted. At the end of March it is like lamb because spring and the fluffy clouds are like March and the lamb is warm hearted.

I think March comes in like a lion. Because winter is rough so are lions so both of them match. Spring comes in like a lamb because lambs are soft pretty and Spring is all about lambs.

I think it means that the month of March starts aggressively and it ends gently.

March goes in like a lion, and goes out like a lamb.''

It means that March is a month when the sun stays out longer. I feel good when that happens!

The fist days of March are beautiful to me because the leaves from the trees fall. I like to go outside and grad leaves. I like all the different color leaves but my favorite are the ones that are orange. It is also cold this is why the first days of March are a lion. At the end of March the days are hotter this is why March goes out like a lamb.

No, I have never heard of that, but my teacher told us. It means March starts out like storms, rain and other stuff.

I think the meaning of March comes in like a lion and goes like a sheep is that it starts out sunny and then it goes out rainy. I think this because the lion gets red fur around its face and its face is yellow making the lion's face kind of like the sun and the sheep has bumpy fur making the sheep's fur kind of look like clouds in the sky.

I think it means when march starts it look boring (mean) and when it finishes it was a nice month. Like me last year it was March 1st i said this is a boring month and when it was April 1st i said it was a nice month because it was my moms birthday. And that's what it means.

The reason why they say that March goes in like a lion and out like a lamb is because in the beginning of March there's a whole bunch of storms and near the end of March it is nice and warm and not so cold.

Yesterday the sky was black and gloomy. And the was thunder and hail. And it was raining so hard.

Well, I'm not so sure but this is what I've heard and what I was taught about March. Well, I think of it in one way, the first way is like they say it, comes like a lion. A lion lives in a jungle so March starts like the weather in a jungle. When they say it goes out like a lamb they mean a lamb lives in a farm so it ends the weather that it is in a farm.
