Long long ago, a couple had seven sons. They wanted a daughter and finally they had a girl. One day the father needed water for her, so he sent the seven brothers to a well to get it. The boys played and the water jug fell into the well. They were afraid to go home. The father was angry.
“They are probably playing a game and have forgotten about the water. I wish they were all turned into ravens!” And then he saw seven black birds flying away. The father was shocked. But he could not take back his words.
Later, the girl found their home. To enter it, she needed a key from a chicken, but she did not have. The girl took a knife and cut off one of her fingers. With it, she opened the door and went inside. There were seven plates and seven cups. She ate and drank a little from each of them. In the last cup, she accidentally dropped a ring that her parents had given her. The ravens returned for their meal. The girl hid behind the door and watched. When the seventh raven drank from his cup, something hit his mouth. It was his parents’ ring. “I wish our sister were here,” he said, “and then we could be free.” At that moment, their sister ran to them, and suddenly the ravens were humans again.

One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be surprised. Gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, he said，“You don’t say!” “You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not a right topic. “Well, I’d better change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was wonderful.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted (打断) again by his words: “You don’t say!” I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didn’t ask you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didn’t you say ‘you don’t say’？” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “ ‘You don’t say’ actually means ‘really!’ It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.” “_____” Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students.
