1. if you enjoy whizzing down the hill on a snow sledge, you have to enjoy pulling the sledge up (to have another ride)

1. Любишь кататься - люби и саночки возить.

The proverb translates as 'if you enjoy whizzing down the hill on a snow sledge, you have to enjoy pulling the sledge up (to have another ride)' Nearly all kids in Russia love to ride snow sledges down the hillside in wintertime. Yet this inevitably involves getting back to the top and pulling the sledge all along. So tiresome! It's easy and fun just to go down on a sledge and have someone else to do the unpleasant job. Hence this wise proverb as a reminder to be responsible. Example: Mother: Synok, pochemu ty ne vybrosil pakety iz-pod soka i ne vymyl posudu posle tvoyey vcherashney vecherinki? Syn: Neokhota seychas poryadok navodit', Mam. Mother: Tak ne poydyot! Lyubish' katat'sya - lyubi i sanochki vozit'! Seychas zhe idi v svoyu komnatu i privedi yeyo v poryadok.
