Ah, same like "Waiter upon providence" in English. Right ?
Japanese
@Chiuxahoi Ummm, if you meant "pennies from heaven", it would be. Something like "An unexpected luck".
This is originally a maxim, and it means:
"Don't have such an attitude without any effort you can make as you just wait for any kind of luck"
like:
"Lie and open one's mouth to wait for a rice cake falling from the shelf where it is" <- Lucky!
