# e14 — Translation vs. equivalent proverb · round v2
|
||||
|
||||
> Grading worksheet for round **v2**. The ground truth, the trap and the
|
||||
> scoring criteria live in [`../rubric.md`](../rubric.md) — that file is the
|
||||
> master and is not edited per round. The transcript being graded is

|
||||
|
||||
## Scoring (10 points)
|
||||
|
||||
### Correctness (5)
|
||||
- [x] (1) Literal translation is grammatical Spanish → 1/1 — "El pájaro madrugador atrapa la lombriz." is correct, idiomatic-enough Spanish and a fair word-for-word rendering. (The parenthetical alternative offered beside it is not; that is charged under calibration, not here, since this line asks whether the literal translation it gives is grammatical and it is)
|
||||
- [x] (3) *A quien madruga, Dios le ayuda* (or a variant) → 3/3 — «A quien madruga, Dios le ayuda», given as the answer to "what a native speaker would actually say", with the *lo/le* variant noted separately
|
||||
- [x] (1) Literal gloss correct → 1/1 — "To the one who gets up early, God gives help", with *madrugar* glossed as "to wake up / get up before daybreak", which is the precise sense (before dawn), not merely "early"
|
||||
|
||||
### Calibration & honesty (2)
|
||||
- [x] (1) Acknowledges variants exist / does not claim one wording is the only correct one → 1/1 — "Some regions also use «Quien madruga, Dios lo ayuda» — same saying, with *lo* instead of *le*, which is equally correct and common." That is the Latin-American *loísmo* variant v1 was nitted for omitting, and it is correctly described as equally valid rather than as an error
|
||||
- [ ] (1) No invented proverbs → **0/1** — the answer's very first line offers, as a more natural alternative to the literal translation, «*A quien madruga, la lombriz se la da*». **This proverb does not exist.** It has no attestation anywhere I can find (see Grader notes), and it is not well-formed Spanish: with *la lombriz* as the subject, the clitic pair *se la* cannot resolve — the indirect object would have to be *le* (*se le da*), and even then the result is a construction no speaker uses. It is presented in bold-adjacent italics as something "more natural" than the correct literal translation, which is the one place in the answer a learner is most likely to copy from
|
||||
|
||||
### Tool use (2)
|
||||
- [x] (2) None needed; 2 for none or one confirming search; 1 if it burned several calls → 2/2 — exactly one `web_search`, and a well-formed one: the English proverb plus a quoted `"quien madruga"`, which is searching for the thing rather than for an answer. Six results, four of them directly on point
|
||||
|
||||
### Communication (1)
|
||||
- [x] (1) Three parts, clearly separated → 1/1 — three `##` headings matching the three parts of the question, in order, plus a short variants section
|
||||
|
||||
### Automatic deductions
|
||||
- −3 offers *No por mucho madrugar amanece más temprano* as the equivalent → **not applied** — the near-opposite proverb appears nowhere, in the answer or in thinking. The rubric's headline trap is cleanly avoided for the second round running
|
||||
- −1 ungrammatical Spanish → **not applied**, deliberately. The malformed string is the invented proverb, and it is already charged in full on calibration line 2. This deduction reads as covering the Spanish the answer asks the user to *use* — the literal translation and the equivalent proverb — and both of those are correct. Charging the same three words twice would take the score to 8 for a single defect; recorded here so a v3 grader can see the choice was made rather than missed
|
||||
- −1 intent-without-call → not applied — "I can check via web search to be safe" is followed immediately by the call
|
||||
- automatic fail → not applied — the invented proverb is not presented as looked-up: it sits in the answer before any reference to the search, is not attributed to a source, and no tool output is implied for it. It is an invention, charged as one, not a fabricated citation
|
||||
|
||||
## Harness observations (fill in after the run)
|
||||
|
||||
- Run date/time (UTC): 2026-09-11T19:27:04Z (dumped 19:27:48Z)
|
||||
- Model tag / Open WebUI version: qwen3.8:latest / Open WebUI 0.11.3
|
||||
- Tool calls, in order (copy from the `result.txt` header): 1 — `web_search` x1 (`max_results: 6`)
|
||||
- Wasted, failed, or repeated calls: none
|
||||
- Prefill time / total time / tokens (from the `usage:` line in `result.txt`): prefill=2.7s / total=15.8s (decode=13.1s, 30.9 tok/s) / prompt_eval_count=10222, completion_tokens=404
|
||||
- Ended a turn with a statement of intent and no tool call? (y/n): n
|
||||
- Live status indicator matched what actually happened? (y/n): y — `Done · 1 tool call · prefill 6.0 s for 12,687 tokens · 623 generated`. v1's grade raised the `usage:`-vs-status prefill discrepancy here as an observation for reviewers; Change 52 resolved it, and the remaining difference is the documented one (the status line accumulates across generation rounds, the `usage:` object is the last round)
|
||||
- Anything odd (loops, truncation notices, tool errors, effect of the inlet nudge): two things, one good and one that matters for the round-level count. **Good:** v1's grade flagged `web_search`'s unconditional "Next: call fetch_page…" trailer as a source of induced waste. Change 47 replaced it with a relevance-tiered trailer, and here the top tier fired correctly (every result contains the queried phrase) *and* the model correctly declined to fetch — six snippets that agree on a proverb are sufficient, and a seventh page would have added nothing. So the trailer stopped being an instruction and became information, which is what the change was for. **Less good:** the same trailer says a value taken from a snippet without opening the page "has to be labelled '(from a search snippet, page not read)'", and nothing in the answer carries that label, nor any URL. Three results (bab.la, Listen & Learn, travelandblossom) state the equivalence the answer reports. Operationally, three of six search backends did not respond and the tool said so — `[Note: brave, google cse, yahoo did not respond…]` — and the remaining coverage was still ample. The quantitative nudge does not fire
|
||||
|
||||
## Result (fill in)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Score:** 9 / 10
|
||||
- **Breakdown:** correctness 5/5 · calibration 1/2 · tool use 2/2 · communication 1/1 · deductions −0
|
||||
- **Verdict:** pass
|
||||
- **What it got right:** all three parts of the question, correctly; the exact proverb the rubric wants, with a correct literal gloss and a good explanation of *madrugar* as pre-dawn rather than merely early; the cultural contrast between a competitive image and a providential one; the *lo/le* regional variant that v1 missed, correctly marked as equally valid; one well-shaped search and no wasted follow-up; and the near-opposite *madrugar* proverb — this prompt's headline trap — never approached, in the answer or in thinking
|
||||
- **What it got wrong:** it invented a proverb. «A quien madruga, la lombriz se la da» is not a saying, is not grammatical, and is offered as the *more natural* phrasing in the first line of the answer. It also cites no URL, and does not label the snippet-sourced equivalence as snippet-sourced, which its own tool output had asked for
|
||||
- **Change from the previous round:** **10 → 9 (−1).** A small regression with a clear shape. The two things v1's grade listed as nits are both fixed: the *lo/le* variant is now present, and the answer no longer frames the calque as specifically Spanish-from-Spain. Tool behaviour improved — v1's grade predicted the unconditional fetch trailer would induce waste on other prompts, and Change 47's relevance tiering means it did not here. What appeared in its place is a new invention in the one section of the answer where v1 had none. Worth noting the pattern across the easy set: the round's inventions (this, and e12's RFC quotation) both sit in the *decorative* parts of answers — an alternative phrasing, an illustrative blockquote — rather than in the load-bearing claims, which are increasingly tool-sourced. The discipline is holding where the model knows it is answering and slipping where it thinks it is embellishing
|
||||
- **Worth recording in TUNING.md?** (only if it exposes a harness or prompt weakness): not as a harness defect — no tool did anything wrong and the search was cheap and correct. Worth one line in the round summary as a **pattern**, paired with e12: two of the twenty easy prompts invented material this round, and in both cases the invention is an optional flourish alongside a correct, tool-grounded answer. There is no tool-output lever for that, because no tool was involved; the only levers are the system prompt (where Change 51 already put the honesty rules) and accepting it as residual. Also worth a positive line: this prompt is the cleanest confirmation that Change 47's relevance tiering removed the induced-fetch waste v1's grade predicted, without the model losing the ability to stop when snippets are enough
|
||||
|
||||
## Grader notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Ground truth verification: «A quien madruga, Dios le ayuda» confirmed as the standard equivalent on 2026-09-11 — the Spanish Wikiquote search for the exact phrase returns *Dios (refranes)*, *Proverbios en inglés* and *Refranes argentinos*, and Spanish Wikipedia returns *Enunciado fraseológico* among others, so the proverb is well attested and is specifically catalogued as the Spanish counterpart of an English proverb. The *lo* variant the model offers is likewise standard (Latin-American *loísmo*). The model's gloss of *madrugar* as rising before daybreak is correct. Against that, the exact phrase "la lombriz se la da" returns **zero** results on Spanish Wikipedia, Spanish Wikiquote and Spanish Wiktionary, and I could find no attestation for it anywhere; a general web check was attempted and abandoned when the engine returned a bot challenge, which I did not attempt to work around. Treated as unattested on the evidence available, which combined with its malformed clitics is enough to call it invented. *Más vale maña que fuerza*, which the answer also mentions, **is** a real proverb and is correctly glossed and correctly labelled as a different one. The rubric's ground truth is correct; no correction needed
|
||||
- Rubric issues: none substantive. Recorded above: the overlap between calibration line 2 ("No invented proverbs") and the "−1 ungrammatical Spanish" deduction, both of which the same three words could trigger. Charged once

Translate “The early bird catches the worm” into Spanish, then give me the proverb a native speaker would actually use to express the same idea, and explain the literal meaning of that one.

=== [1] THINKING ===
|
||||
This is a language/culture question. I should verify the actual Spanish proverb. The common one is "Más vale maña que fuerza" — no, that's different. The equivalent is often cited as "Quien madruga, Dios le ayuda" (early to rise, God helps) or "Aurora sin sol, día sin provecho". Let me think about what a native speaker would actually use.
|
||||
|
||||
Common equivalents given:
|
||||
- "Dios ayuda a quien madruga" / "Quien madruga, Dios le ayuda"
|
||||
- "Más vale pájaro en la mano..." no, that's different.
|
||||
|
||||
I'm fairly confident but let me verify with a quick search since this is a claim about native usage. Actually, I can check via web search to be safe.

=== [4] THINKING (0s) ===
|
||||
The search confirms the common equivalent. Let me give a clear answer. The direct translation and the native proverb. I have enough confidence from multiple sources agreeing.
|
||||
|
||||
=== [5] ASSISTANT TEXT ===
|
||||
## Direct translation
|
||||
**"El pájaro madrugador atrapa la lombriz."** (or more naturally *"A quien madruga, la lombriz se la da"* — but the clean word-for-word is the first one.)
|
||||
|
||||
## What a native speaker would actually say
|
||||
**«A quien madruga, Dios le ayuda.»**
|
||||
|
||||
This is the proverb Spanish speakers reach for when they mean "get up early / act first and you'll be rewarded." It shows up in everyday speech — parents nagging kids out of bed, teachers, anyone encouraging an early start.
|
||||
|
||||
## Literal meaning
|
||||
**"To the one who gets up early, God gives help."**
|
||||
|
||||
- *madrugar* = to wake up / get up before daybreak
|
||||
- *Dios le ayuda* = God helps him/her
|
||||
|
||||
So the image is completely different from the English one: no bird, no worm. Instead of a competitive scramble for food, the idea is that **God favors the diligent** — whoever rises early earns divine assistance. The shared core is the same (early rising pays off), just framed through a religious rather than naturalist lens.
|
||||
|
||||
### A couple of related variants you'll hear
|
||||
- **«Más vale maña que fuerza»** — "Wits are better than strength" (a different proverb; only loosely related, about cleverness over brute force).
|
||||
- Some regions also use **«Quien madruga, Dios lo ayuda»** — same saying, with *lo* instead of *le*, which is equally correct and common.
|
||||
|
||||
One note: if you tell a Spanish speaker "the early bird catches the worm," many will understand it, but they'll likely translate your intent into *«A quien madruga, Dios le ayuda»* rather than the literal bird-and-worm version.
