He felt like he was pushing a rock up a hill
Something easy to do
He was doing a lot of work but not making progress
The rock kept falling on him
There is nothing like it on Earth
It doesn't exist anywhere
It exists somewhere other than Earth
So incredible that there is nothing else to compare it to in
He was green with envy
He was nauseous
He was very jealous
He had a lot of money
Calm before the storm
Peaceful period before difficulty
Sunny day before it rains
When it rains all day
Tip of the iceberg
The top part of a chunk of ice
The biggest part of a problem
The only noticeable part of a bigger problem
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
Become a storm chaser
Her niece is a ray of sunshine.
Her niece brings happiness
Her niece is mean
Her niece is shiny
She was feeling under the weather last week.
She was laying under a cloud
She was sick
She got caught in the rain
He is down to earth.
He is visiting from Mars
He is hard to talk to
He is easy to talk to
When he came home late, he was in hot water
His mom needed him to boil water
There was a flash flood
He was in a lot of trouble
Don't beat around the bush
Forgetting what is going on
Get to the point
Don't hit the bushes
The grass is always greener on the other side
Other people's situations seem better than yours
Other people can read your mind
Your neighbor has a better lawnmower
Go with the flow
Swim upstream
Do whatever everyone else agrees with
Swim downstream
He is barking up the wrong tree.
Barking in anger
He is trying to get something that won't happen
He is making noise
Money doesn't grow on trees
Money isn't a plant
It takes a lot of work to earn money
Money grows on grass
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree
The apple acts like the tree
When a child looks/acts like their parent
Apples fall because of gravity
