Episode 25: The Patient Dog vs The Early Bird

     "The patient dog gets the fattest bone"......"The early bird gets the worm".......Do you see a problem here? These idioms are quite popular, but they don't tell you the full story. Let's expand that first one:

• "The patient dog gets the fattest bone, but all he gets are bones!". 

There, that looks more practical. And the second one?

• "The early bird may get the worm, but it's the second mouse that gets the cheese".

       I was taught the original idioms in primary school. Life has taught me the modified versions I've written here.

Two patient dogs watch the others fight. Notice tiny dog make off with some meat. Yes, those are leopard skinned dogs, and the bull dog has a boxing glove, just because I can! If you don't like it, draw your own picture mwuhaha!
