“Telugu:
చెరుకు తీపి అని వేళ్లతో నమలవచ్చునా”
English Translation:
Because the sugar-cane is sweet are you to chew it with the roots ?Said of a greedy, grasping person.Milk the cow, but don’t pull off the udder. (Dutch.)Give him an inch and he’ll take an all.Give a clown your finger and he will take your whole hand.
