Japanese Proverb 4

Here is today's proverb:

頭隠して尻隠さず

And in romaji:

atama kakushite shiri kakusazu

And English: "Covering your head, but not covering your butt."

This is like the ostrich with its head in the sand: if you cover up your head but leave your butt sticking out, that's not good; you are not protected that way. I wasn't sure what image I could use for this, but when I googled the saying in Japanese, lots of images came up: this must be a popular saying in Japan! And there are other people, like me, who obsess about cat images ha ha. Here's one I found as an illustration for this proverb... the page has lots of cute pictures, but I liked this one best:

My vocabulary for today:

頭
atama
"head"
