Mexican sayings are known for their color and depth. “El que es perico, donde quiera es verde” (He who is a parakeet is green wherever he goes) suggests that one’s true nature always shows. “Ahogado el niño, tapamos el pozo” (After the child drowns, we cover the well) criticizes reactive rather than preventive measures. “A darle que es mole de olla” (Let’s give it our all, it’s mole de olla) encourages putting in maximum effort.
