Description
She gently holds the bird. Looking into its eye. Searching for an answer to her question. Should I or shouldn't I? “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush” is one of the oldest and best-known proverbs in English. It came into the language in the 15th century, probably imported from other cultures. Some believe that the origin of this proverb refers back to medieval falconry where a bird in the hand (the falcon) was a valuable asset and certainly worth more than two in the bush (the prey). Another meaning is that it is better to have a lesser yet certain advantage at something, than the possibility of a greater one that may come to nothing. What do you think it means?
