Question

A bag is useful and the word “bag” is useful too. It gives us some interesting phrases(短語). One is “ to let the cat out of the bag.” It is the same as “to tell a secret”. There’s an old interesting story about it.
Long ago, when people sold things in big cloth bags, a woman asked a man for a pig. The man held up his cloth bag. There seemed to be a little pig in it. The woman asked to see it. When the man opened the cloth bag, a big black cat ran out. Not a pig! The man’s secret was out and everyone knew it.
Now when someone lets out a secret, he “ lets the cat out of the bag”. And that is the story where the interesting phrase came from.
