Between two goods or options of equal quality, it is preferable to choose the one that is more accessible or simpler. The proverb suggests that when faced with alternatives of similar value, it is wiser to select the option that requires less effort or complications. It is an invitation to prudence and simplicity in our daily choices. In English, an equivalent proverb would be ‘A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,’ meaning it is better to choose what is readily available rather than embark on an uncertain venture.
