The word “bag” is useful. It provides us some interesting phrases. For example, “to let the cat out of the bag” means “to tell the secret”. There is an old interesting story about it. Long ago, when people sold things in big cloth bags, a woman asked a man for a pig. The man held 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 "let's the cat out of the bag". And that is the story where the interesting phrase came from.
