[00:14.73] | WORDS AND THEIR STORIES. |
[00:17.66] | Last week, I explained |
[00:20.45] | some English expressions about clothes. |
[00:24.40] | Everything I told you was true. |
[00:27.49] | I did not talk through my hat |
[00:30.17] | or say something |
[00:32.02] | without knowing the facts. |
[00:34.50] | Everyone knows there are |
[00:36.94] | many English expressions |
[00:38.98] | about clothes. |
[00:40.68] | There is no need to keep it a secret, |
[00:43.81] | or keep it under your hat. |
[00:46.35] | In fact, if I keep talking, |
[00:49.53] | soon enough you will start |
[00:52.07] | to think I am an old hat about this |
[00:56.05] | -- a real expert. |
[00:57.75] | Do not be fooled, though. |
[00:59.25] | My friends sometimes call me |
[01:03.92] | a wolf in sheep’s clothing. |
[01:06.16] | This is someone who acts |
[01:08.55] | like a good person, |
[01:10.20] | but is really a bad person. |
[01:13.23] | I’m not really a bad person. |
[01:16.22] | But I do love clothes. |
[01:19.10] | It is always fun to get dressed up. |
[01:23.08] | I look great in my best clothes. |
[01:26.32] | When I put them on, |
[01:28.01] | I feel decked out. |
[01:30.51] | You might say |
[01:31.90] | when I wear my best clothes, |
[01:34.54] | I am dressed to the nines |
[01:36.93] | or dressed to the teeth. |
[01:39.67] | In fact, my husband says |
[01:42.35] | I look dressed to kill. |
[01:44.89] | Of course, I would never kill anyone. |
[01:49.03] | But, there is something special |
[01:51.87] | about putting on clothes |
[01:53.91] | that are pleasing to the eye. |
[01:56.05] | My best clothes are not |
[01:59.19] | modern or fashionable. |
[02:01.58] | Maybe someday they will |
[02:04.46] | come into fashion. |
[02:05.80] | But I really do not care. |
[02:08.30] | They certainly look better |
[02:10.44] | on me than my birthday suit. |
[02:12.63] | Did you know that everyone |
[02:15.22] | has a birthday suit? |
[02:17.11] | You wear it when you are wearing |
[02:19.60] | no clothes at all. |
[02:21.65] | Babies are born wearing |
[02:24.50] | their birthday suits. |
[02:26.13] | I am very careful with my clothes. |
[02:29.67] | I handle them with kid gloves. |
[02:32.70] | I try not to get them dirty or torn. |
[02:36.44] | Most of my clothes |
[02:38.47] | fit like a glove. |
[02:40.22] | They fit perfectly. |
[02:42.71] | But when I eat too much, |
[02:45.24] | I feel like my clothes might |
[02:48.22] | burst at the seams. |
[02:49.92] | My clothes feel too restrictive and tight. |
[02:53.70] | Some of the clothes I like best |
[02:57.30] | are hand-me-downs. |
[02:59.49] | My older sister gave them to me |
[03:02.38] | when she no longer wanted them. |
[03:04.92] | Hand-me-downs are great |
[03:07.41] | because clothes often cost too much money. |
[03:11.79] | I live on a shoestring. |
[03:14.52] | I have a very small budget |
[03:17.31] | and little money to spend on clothes. |
[03:20.49] | However, my sister has a lot of money |
[03:24.43] | to spend on clothes. |
[03:26.10] | Maybe someday the shoe |
[03:28.83] | will be on the other foot. |
[03:31.06] | The opposite will be true. |
[03:33.25] | I will have a lot of money |
[03:36.00] | to buy clothes and my sister |
[03:38.39] | will get hand-me-downs from me. |
[03:40.92] | I admit I dream of being rich. |
[03:45.65] | I dream that someday I will be able |
[03:49.38] | to live like a rich person. |
[03:51.62] | I will know what it is like |
[03:54.75] | to walk in another person’s shoes. |
[03:58.19] | Some of my friends got rich |
[04:01.18] | by riding someone else’s coat tails. |
[04:04.96] | They are successful today |
[04:07.75] | as a result of someone else |
[04:10.38] | being successful. |
[04:12.07] | But, I believe you should |
[04:14.86] | never criticize others |
[04:16.95] | for something |
[04:17.95] | you would do yourself. |
[04:19.59] | What is said about someone |
[04:22.23] | else can also be said |
[04:24.62] | about you. Remember, |
[04:26.63] | if the shoe fits, wear it. |
