Hello, teachers!!
(1)The early bird catches the worm.
(2)The cow that's first up, gets the first of the dew.
Which one do you use more often?
Thank you in advance. |

The early bird catches the worm, is an old and common saying.
I haven't heard about the cow and the dew, but it may be common in other countries. |

| I agree with PugachevV. I've only heard the early bird one. |
