Not to look a gift horse in the mouth.
Meaning: If someone offers you something of value, for free, don't inspect the animal very carefully as one would a racehorse. Btw, a horses's age is measured by how far down the teeth are ground. Be gracious, accept the item. If it doesn't fit into your family, you can re-home or regift at a later time
