!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

DAILY UPDATED SAYING WITH PICTURES. Lightning never strikes twice in the same place.


Lightning never strikes twice in the same place.

Note: lightning (noun) = a powerful electrical discharge usually between a cloud and the ground | twice (adverb) = two times
Possible interpretation: The idea here is that the same misfortune or bad luck will not happen again to the same person. This saying is often shortened, with the same meaning, to: "Lightning never strikes twice." (In reality, it has been proven that lightning often does strike two or more times in the same place.)

Quick Quiz:
You are most likely to say "Lightning never strikes twice in the same place" to someone who
  1. has just been struck by lightning, and lived
  2. has just had some very bad luck
  3. wants to photograph an electric storm
