What is an example of a sentence with a metaphor in it? |
[Edit] |
[Edit] 
A metaphor is a comparison.
Here is an example:
Success is a staircase. It takes sustained effort to reach the top, but not much effort at all to fall down.
(The metaphor is in the first sentence, but the second sentence extends it a little.)
