Her niece is a ray of sunshine.
Her niece is shiny
Her niece brings happiness
He is down to earth.
He is easy to talk to
He is visiting from Mars
She was feeling under the weather last week.
She was laying under a cloud
She was sick
He is barking up the wrong tree.
He is making noise
He is trying to get something that won't happen
Don't beat around the bush
Get to the point
Don't hit the bushes
He was green with envy
He was nauseous
He was very jealous
Sometimes you have to ride out the storm
You have to ride in a boat when theres a flood
You have to wait for hard times to be over
Money doesn't grow on trees
Money isn't a plant
It takes a lot of work to earn money
He felt like he was pushing a rock up a hill
The rock kept falling on him
He was doing a lot of work but not making progress
When he came home late, he was in hot water
He was in a lot of trouble
There was a flash flood
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree
When a child looks/acts like their parent
Apples fall because of gravity
The grass is always greener on the other side
Your neighbor has a better lawnmower
Other people's situations seem better than yours
Calm before the storm
Sunny day before it rains
Peaceful period before difficulty
Tip of the iceberg
The only noticeable part of a bigger problem
The top part of a chunk of ice
Go with the flow
Do whatever everyone else agrees with
Swim downstream
There is nothing like it on Earth
It doesn't exist anywhere
So incredible that there is nothing else to compare it to in
