Idiomatic Expressions

Japan

Kumiko 10 year-old girl Morisita Elementary school

One stone, two birds

=kill 2 birds with one stone

Dear Kumiko, thanks for your work. In Italy we have a very similar expression: "to take 2 pigeons with a one only broad bean". It means: "To achieve 2 aims with an only deed". This expression comes from an old way used to catch the pigeons with a broad bean as a bait. I hope someone Italian kid could draw this Idiomatic expression.

Hello Rok Your artwork is very nice. In Japan, we have similar idiomatic expression "A frog kid is just a frog" But we have also opposite expression "A kite bear a hawk". It means that trivial parents have a excellent child" It's interesting to know international provervs. Your friend in Japan Hida
