5. The clouds sailed across the sky.

Max is a pig when he eats.
You are my sunshine.
It’s raining cats and dogs.
Even a child could carry my dog around for hours.

He is the Tiger Woods of his golf team.

Their home was a prison.
Life is a rollercoaster.
America is a melting pot.

The clouds are balls of cotton.

She is a shining star.

Books are the keys to your imagination.
The ballerina was a swan, gliding across the stage.
Her angry words were bullets to him.
The thunder was a lion.
The road was a ribbon stretching across the desert.
