"The grass is always greener on the other side" is a statement used in the English language when one notices cows in a pasture stretching their necks through openings in the fence to get the green, uncut grass, on the other side.
Person #1: Why is the cow trying to stick his head through the fence?
Person #2: To get the grass.
Person #1: Why don't they just eat the grass in their pasture?
Person #2: Because, the grass is always greener on the other side.

Person 1: Is that cow trying to choke itself?
Person 2: No. It's trying to get grass. The grass is greener on the other side.
