Calm before the storm
When it rains all day
Peaceful period before difficulty
Sunny day before it rains
Go with the flow
Swim upstream
Swim downstream
Do whatever everyone else agrees with

It doesn't exist anywhere
So incredible that there is nothing else to compare it to in
It exists somewhere other than Earth

He was doing a lot of work but not making progress
The rock kept falling on him

Her niece is shiny
Her niece is mean

You have to wait for hard times to be over
Become a storm chaser
You have to ride in a boat when theres a flood
He was green with envy
He was nauseous
He had a lot of money
He was very jealous
He is barking up the wrong tree.
He is making noise
He is trying to get something that won't happen
Barking in anger
Tip of the iceberg
The top part of a chunk of ice
The only noticeable part of a bigger problem
The biggest part of a problem
