!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

clean as a whistle

Meaning: If something is as clean as a whistle, it's extremely clean, or for a person it can mean they have a perfect record and have never done anything illegal.
For example:
  • A political party will make sure a member's background is as clean as a whistle before letting them run for office.
  • Everything in a hospital should be as clean as a whistle.
Quick Quiz:
The school thought their new teacher's record was as clean as a whistle because he hadn't told them about
  1. his arrest for drunk driving
  2. his dirty bathroom
  3. his cheating at cards
