It is better to remain satisfied with what you have earned or you have got, rather than craving for what is out of reach or difficult to get hold of
Etymology:
- This idiom is an ancient Greek saying. It is a very famous Aesop’s fable originally and it was also repeated by ancient Romans. In the 14th century this idiom was used by English writers after translation. This term was also used by hunters to communicate and remain satisfied with their hunting. They always thought of a captured bird to be more valuable than those, which were not caught and some distance away.
