Japanese saying ~15~た ta

たなから ぼたもち tanakara botamochi
I translate this saying directly.

A botamochi dropped from a shelf.
You got the botamochi(Japanese sweet)

You use this saying when you get an unexpected benefit.
In English,
It is an unexpected piece of good luck.

But, it is clear that nothing can be got without effort.

So... I don't expect any botamochis in my daily life.
