- English translation
He has a resource that never runs dry.
- Literal wording
He has a chick that does not die.
- Meaning and lesson
The saying describes a person who has a steady source of gain or support that they can keep drawing on without interruption. The image is of a young fowl that never dies, a figure for a supply that keeps going and is not used up.
The emphasis falls on the continuing nature of the supply rather than on how large or valuable the resource is. The kind of resource is not named, so the saying covers any dependable source, and the image is figurative and not a literal claim about animals.
- When it is used
Use this saying, quoted whole as a fixed expression, about someone whose income, help, or dependable supply keeps coming without interruption. It suits casual speech and works best when the source has clearly lasted over time, with the image understood figuratively.
