Script (guión): Idioms, ‘A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush’. This means that it's better to have something that is certain rather than to take a risk to get more where you might lose everything. For example, if I'm playing on a fruit machine in a pub and I win ten pounds, my friend may say to me, ‘A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.’ Meaning, it's best to quit while your ahead than to carry on and risk losing it all.
