!Mira que luna! Look at that moon! Resources for learning English
Fernando Olivera: El rapto.- TEXT FROM THE NOVEL The goldfinch by Donna Tartt (...) One night we were in San Antonio, and I was having a bit of a melt-down, wanting my own room, you know, my dog, my own bed, and Daddy lifted me up on the fairgrounds and told me to look at the moon. When "you feel homesick", he said, just look up. Because the moon is the same wherever you go". So after he died, and I had to go to Aunt Bess -I mean, even now, in the city, when I see a full moon, it's like he's telling me not to look back or feel sad about things, that home is wherever I am. She kissed me on the nose. Or where you are, puppy. The center of my earth is you". The goldfinch Donna Tartt 4441 English edition

All clouds bring not rain.


All clouds bring not rain
Possible interpretation: We can rephrase this: "Not every cloud brings rain." And that's true. Sometimes there are many clouds in the sky, but it doesn't rain. Don't judge things by appearances.
Note: cloud (noun) = visible mass of water vapour high in the sky (usually white or grey in colour) | rain (noun) = water that falls from clouds in the sky
Quick Quiz:
If we say "all clouds bring not rain" we suggest that
the clouds in the sky may be snow clouds
it is not going to rain today
what looks like one thing may turn out to be another
