Por su mal y su ruina nacen alas a la hormiga.
Vocabulary: mal: evil, harm. ruina: ruin, downfall. nacer: to be born, grow. ala: wing. hormiga: ant.
Notes: The proverb implies a story: when the ants get wings, they fly around... and birds devour them! The French poet Desbillons wrote a Latin fable, "Formica et Jupiter," where the ant begs Jupiter to give her wings, and she dies as a result, eaten by a bird.
