【明報專訊】◆Give a hand

Help someone do something

e.g. Can you give me a hand with the books? They're heavy.

◆Break a leg

Wish someone good luck, especially just before they perform on stage

e.g. The kid's family told her to "break a leg" right before she went on stage.

◆Lips are sealed

Keep a secret

e.g. I'm not allowed to tell you anything about the party as my lips are sealed.

■Brain teaser

It looks like a cannon,

But it isn't used to kill;

Quite often it is adorned with a pattern,

But always stays still.

Without it your desk would be messy,

As it is where you put the stationery together;

Eason says, "I am never a jessy,

Who plays with coloured pens and leather."

It is a chimney that has no smoke.

With the tools it provides you can write anything.

Eason gives it a cursory look,

And says, "Oh, that's something!"

You might hate to write,

But would you like to draw a canyon?

If you want to put your pencils into somewhere right,

This is your true companion.

Hey Eason! You don't drink a lot,

So please don't treat it as a cup;

Eason says, "You're still a tiny tot,

So why don't you just shut up."
