“A coward got scared and went into a hole, but a rat's cleverness ate his ear.”

Meaning

This proverb illustrates that a person who tries to save or hide themselves out of fear might fall into an even worse danger. Even though the cowardly person went into a hole, they couldn't escape the attack of a rat (a small creature) there. This means that trying to escape from a problem often leads to a worse problem, or that courage is needed to face problems.
