Quien piedra arriba echa, cáele en la cabeza.
Vocabulary: piedra: stone, rock. arriba: up, above, over. echar: to throw, toss. caer: to fall, fall down. cabeza: head.
Notes: The word "le" in "cáele" is an indirect pronoun referring back to the subject of the verb "echa," the person who's throwing the rock: the rock will come back on their head. The accent marked is added to the compound form to indicate the stressed syllable in the verb: cáe-le. Compare a similar saying about arrows: Quien al cielo tira flechas, vuélvensele a la cabeza.
