Mary didn’t understand such sentences as“She is blue today”，“You are yellow”，“He has a green thumb”，“He has told a white lie”and so on．And she went to the teacher Mrs James for help．
Mary：Mrs James，there is a colour in each of the sentences．What do they mean?
Mrs James：In everyday English，Mary，blue sometimes means sad，yellow afraid．A person with a green thumb grows plants well and a white lie is not a bad one．
Mary：I’m afraid I don’t understand them a11．Would you give me an example for“a white lie”?
Mrs James：Certainly．Now I just give you some cakes．In fact you don’t like it，but you don’t want to let me know it．Instead you say，“No，thanks．I’m not hungry．”That’s a white lie．
Mary：It sounds very interesting．Thanks very much．
Mrs James：You are wele．Colours are meaningful．I think you will meet more sentences like these in the future．Please e to me if you have any questions．
