early BIRD get WORM, the second MOUSE get CHEESE

hi..based on the title of this entry..could you understand what is the meaning?hehe..when i heard it for the 1st time..i also confuse..what is that mean?it is a title of children story?or english punya "pepatah"?but after we discuss in the class, owh..now i can understand! we can relate this "pepatah" with economic maaa..

in short, what can i say it "EARLY BIRD GET WORM" means Sometimes in life it’s smart to learn from the risks others take, and the mistakes they make. The dead mouse in the trap saw the cheese and went for it. Didn’t work. But the second mouse, though still cautious, was in the enviable position of reaping the reward with no risk. 

ok..that all..thank you :)
