For example, if a neighbor tells the wife that there's a hidden treasure in their backyard just based on some old legend, and she immediately starts to plan how to look for it without any further investigation, that could be an instance of 'wife swallows stories'.
Let's say there is a rumor going around that a certain product can make you lose 10 pounds in a week. The wife hears this story from a friend and without checking the facts, like looking at scientific studies or reviews, she goes and buys the product. This is a case where the wife swallows the story.
Imagine the wife is told by a distant relative that a particular house in the neighborhood is haunted because they heard some strange noises at night. Instead of thinking rationally about possible normal explanations like old pipes or animals, she fully believes the haunted story and starts to be afraid to even walk past the house. This shows how she swallows the story without much thought.
One example could be if a family subscribes to a children's story app. The wife, who manages the family finances, pays for the monthly or annual subscription so that the kids can have access to a variety of stories.
Maybe she takes a bite of an apple (swallows it after chewing) and then starts to tell her boyfriend about a funny incident that happened at work that day.
One possible example could be a story where a wife, who is an amateur bird - watcher, observes swallows building their nests near her house. She then shares her observations with her family and neighbors, spreading awareness about the beauty and importance of these little birds. It's a simple story about a wife's connection to nature through swallows.
One example could be a female writer who is in a committed relationship. She uses her experiences with her partner as inspiration. So she 'mates' in the sense of having a deep emotional connection with her partner (wife in this context could be a symbol of closeness). And then she 'breeds her stories' by writing novels or memoirs based on the love, conflicts, and growth she experiences in that relationship.
Sure. One example could be J.K. Rowling. She was a single mother living on welfare when she started writing the Harry Potter series. But then her books became a huge global success, and she became one of the richest and most famous authors in the world.
Think about a group of rescue workers who have been through some really tough situations, like war - like disasters. When there's a big storm and they are all huddled together waiting for the situation to improve. They start sharing their most harrowing experiences from the past disasters, which is a form of 'the storm tradin' war stories'.
Sure. Let's say a wife decides to move back to her hometown after years of living in a different city with her husband. She has many stories about the friends she made, the local events she participated in, and the experiences she had in that city. When she leaves, those stories stay with her friends and neighbors there, like the story of how she organized a community garden. That's an example of 'wife leaves stories'.
If she is into literature, she might tell stories inspired by the books she has read. For example, if she read a mystery novel, she could create her own mystery story based on the elements she 'swallowed' (liked or was inspired by) from that book. Or if she has an interest in history, she could tell historical stories she has learned about, perhaps about a famous figure from the past and their deeds that she has 'swallowed' (studied) and wants to pass on in the form of a story.
Sure. History can be seen as 'forever a novel'. There are countless stories of different civilizations, their rises and falls, the wars, the cultural developments. And as we keep researching and discovering new things about the past, new 'chapters' are added to this grand 'novel' of history.
Starting a new job can be 'always a novel'. There are new colleagues to meet, new tasks to learn, and new office dynamics to understand. It's like entering a new world where you don't know what will happen next. There are always new situations arising, similar to how a novel has various twists and turns as the story progresses.
