Now, the VOA Special English program WORDSAND THEIR STORIES.
Today's program is all about eyes. When itcomes to relationships, people's eyes can be a window into their hearts. Thismeans that their eyes can tell a lot about how they feel. We will tell a storyabout a man and woman who are teachers at the same school. The woman isinterested in the man. She uses many methods to catch his eye, or get him tonotice her. Once he sets eyes on her, or sees her, she might try to get himinterested in her by acting playful. In other words, she might try to make eyesat him or give him the eye.
Let us suppose that this man gets hitbetween the eyes. In other words, the woman has a strong affect on him. Hewants to spend time with her to get to know her better. He asks her out on adate.
She is so happy that she may walk aroundfor days with stars in her eyes. She is extremely happy because this man is theapple of her eye, a very special person. She might tell him that he is the onlyperson she wants, or "I only have eyes for you."
On their date, the couple might eat a mealtogether at a restaurant. If the man is really hungry, his eyes might be biggerthan his stomach. He might order more food than he can eat. When his foodarrives at the table, his eyes might pop out. He might be very surprised by theamount of food provided. He might not even believe his own eyes. If fact, alleyes would be watching him if he ate all the food. This might even cause raisedeyebrows. People might look at the man with disapproval.
During their dinner, the couple mightdiscuss many things. They might discover that they see eye to eye, or agree onmany issues. They share the same beliefs and opinions. For example, they mightagree that every crime or injury should be punished. That is, they firmlybelieve in the idea of an eye for an eye. They might also agree that it iswrong to pull the wool over a person's eyes. This means to try to trick aperson by making him believe something that is false. But the man and woman donot believe in the evil eye, that a person can harm you by looking at you.
The next day, at their school, the womanasks the man to keep an eye on, or watch the young students in her class whileshe is out of the classroom. This might be hard to do when the teacher iswriting on a board at the front of the classroom. To do so, a teacher wouldneed to have eyes in the back of his head. In other words, he would know whatthe children are doing even when he is not watching them.
