  What it means

  Patience is rewarded — what is long delayed will eventually come. Even if something takes time, it will happen in the end.

  Vocabulary

  • doczekać się — to live to see, to wait long enough for
  • gałąź — branch
  • odwlec — to delay, to postpone

  Grammar note

  'Choć mu się odwlecze' — concessive clause using 'choć' (although/even if). 'Odwlecze' is third-person singular future of 'odwlec'.

  Cultural context

  An old proverb encouraging patience. The image of a branch waiting for its dog is deliberately absurd, making it memorable.
