Percebam que, como é regra na interpretação de idioms, não traduzimos ao pé da letra, sedo fiéis aos animais mencionados, mas sim à maneira de expressarmos realmente em português.

Vamos a alguns parágrafos pra ajudar na captação da ideia?
Henry was a bookworm. He would spend hours reading his book. Actually, as he was an early bird, the first thing he would do in the morning, after breakfast, was opening his book. His mother thought he was pigheaded, once nothing would make him change his mind about it.
As quiet as a mouse, Arthur would sneak into the kitchen in the middle of the night, open the fridge and eat the whole lasagna from the previous dinner. He used to eat like a dog when he saw his favorite dish available.
In the following morning, his brother could smell a rat everytime he would get to the kitchen and find a dirty plate on the counter.

Ok? So let’s talk turkey: don’t stop studying!
