12、animal happened to get it over by a car,people would be very sadabout it.People in Canada have many reasons to like animals.One of them might be:Their families arenot as close as ours.When children grow up,they leave their parents and start their own life.Then the old will feel lonely.But pets can s

16、e family ties.“Water”here seemingly means the connection you have with people with whom you do not shareBlood ties.Now,lets look at the word“thick“.In this idiom,it does not mean the physical size of something.The word “thick“here means having a very close relationship with someone.If youare thick w
17、ith your best friend,you trust him.So,the idiom “blood is thicker than water”means family ties are the strongest.That makes sense,right?Well,it makes sense until you hear the whole idiom as it was first written in the Bible.The original(最初的)saying is “Blood of the covenant is thicker than water of t
