That’s right, I want you to find the answer. Because remember, my job as your teacher is to guide you to the answer. If I just gave you the answer without asking you to do the work, I’d be robbing you of your learning opportunity. No pain, no gain!

    This proverb means that unhappy people might feel a bit better if they know that other people are unhappy too.

    This one means when you are miserable, you feel happy listening to other people talk about their misery. You won’t feel like you are the only one who is miserable

    Good job Nia!
