# e14 — Translation vs. equivalent proverb

| | |
|---|---|
| **Difficulty** | easy |
| **Domain** | language |
| **Probes** | distinguishing a literal translation from a cultural equivalent; not confusing a proverb with its near-opposite |
| **Tools expected** | none required; a confirming `web_search` is fine |
| **Trap** | "No por mucho madrugar amanece más temprano" is the *other* famous madrugar proverb and means roughly the opposite (rising early does not make dawn come sooner — haste does not help). |

## Ground truth

- Literal: *El pájaro madrugador atrapa al gusano* (or *…se lleva el gusano*).
- Native equivalent: **"A quien madruga, Dios le ayuda"** (variants: *Al que madruga, Dios lo/le ayuda*). Literally: "God helps whoever rises early."
