One swallow does not make a spring - Одна ласточка не делает весны

The expression one swallow does not make a spring is drawn from one of Aesop's fables (though, of course, it is equally likely that Aesop made up the fable to illustrate an established proverb). The moral it contains is — don’t make hasty conclusions. In Aesop’s fable, a young spendthrift who has squandered his father’s fortune sells in the end his last property — a cloak, when he sees one swallow that has returned from the south. But soon afterwards a heavy frost comes again and the young man curses the swallow which has heralded spring.
