A proverb a day to brighten the day!

545a. Wenn Sie anbieten, das Kalb zu tragen, müssen Sie stattdessen die Kuh tragen!

546a. If you offer to carry the calf, you will be made to carry the cow instead!

Human tendency is to expect (and extract) more than what has been offered.
Be it Space, Time, Money, Energy, Work, Assistance, Comfort, Food and Gifts!

footnotes:
Wenn = If
Sie = you
anbieten = offer
zu = to
tragen = carry
das = the
Kalb = calf
Sie = you
müssen = will have to
tragen = carry
die = the
Kuh = cow
stattdessen = instead!
