A bag is useful and the word “bag” is useful, too．It gives us some interesting phrases．One is “to let the cat out of the bag”．It is the same as “to tell a secret”．There is an old interesting story about it．Long long ago when people sold things in big cloth bags, a woman asked a man for a pig．The man helped 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 “l(fā)et the cat out of the bag”．And that is the story of where the interesting phrase came from．
