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.
