Hello, everybody. How are you?
I'm waiting for my friend.
His name is William Shakespeare.
And he is a very famous writer.
But don't tell him.
He loves to talk about himself.
Oh!
Hello, William.
How are you?
What are you doing?
Is that a new telephone?
-What? Of course not.
Are you joking? These are grapes.
-And what are you doing with those grapes?
-It is obvious.
I'm listening.
OK.
Do they speak to you?
-Have you never heard to saying
I heard it through the grapevine?
That's why I'm listening.
I want to know what the grapevine is saying.
-Oh William, that's just an expression.
I heard it through the grapevine
means that you can hear things
that people are saying around you.
Of course, I was joking.
I knew it.
I practically invented the English language.
I know everything about it
and what everything means.
-Oh, there's another saying about grapes.
(LEE)
-That's does make sense.
An old grape becomes a raisin,
and raisin wine is not very good.
-It's just an old saying.
It means we get better with age.
And we have to take care of old people because they're sweet.
Oh, my father was a grandpi old man.
Always talking about himself, never listening to anyone.
-Like father, like son.
-What? -Nothing, William.
Is just a saying.
And it means the parents and their children are similar.
-I don't care.
Call me Shakespeare
or the best writer of all time.
-Ok. Do you know any more old sayings?
-Of course I know.
I know what a hundred sayings...
No, a thousand old sayings.
-Alright. So could you tell me just one?
-You go fast.
You are a lay, so ladies first.
-OK. What a gentleman.
-Yes, I'm a gentleman.
And the best writer of all time.
My friends call me Will
but I only have one friend.
Having friends is something very important in life, Will.
Even more important than being famous.
There is a saying that says...
(LEE)
A treasure?
Where?
-I'm a treasure because I'm your friend.
And you can count on me.
Really?
So now I have two friends.
And I know a lot of new expressions.
It's a beautiful day.
Now let's remember all the sayings we have learned.
(LEE)
All these sayings are fun
and interesting ways of learning things.
-Exactly, Will.
I hope you enjoyed too.
Why don't you use these new expressions?
See you next time, everybody.
Goodbye!
