A metaphor is like a secret message, it helps us understand one thing by comparing it to something else. For example, when we say 'He’s a lion in battle,' we’re not saying he actually has fur and roars; we’re just saying he’s very strong and brave. Metaphors are everywhere because they make things easier to picture and remember.
Examples
- He’s a lion in battle, just like when you're the strongest kid on the playground and everyone knows it.
- Time is money, like when you have to finish your homework before bedtime, and every minute feels like a dollar.
