APAD: All lay loads on ......能填空完成这个谚语吗？附短语动词

All lay loads on a willing horse.

A person who says ‘yes’, even if hesitatingly, to any work given to him will soon find himself overloaded with work.

Example: When I joined the company two years back, I was too polite to say ‘no’ to work people asked me to do, and soon I was buried under work. All lay loads on a willing horse.

 

phrasal verb:

call around
phone many different places/people
We called around but we weren't able to find the car part we needed.
