The Early Bird Gets the Worm

In English, we have a saying, “The early bird gets the worm.” Birds like to eat worms, and the birds that start early get more worms than the latecomers. In other words, they are more successful. We call people who get up early in the morning early birds. I am an early bird. When I get up in the morning, I am completely awake, and my brain is sharp. My wife is the opposite. She is a night owl. She thinks much more clearly at night than in the morning. In the hot summer, I think it’s much better to be an early bird. I wake up early and enjoy the cool morning air when I walk the dog. (119 words)
