A bag is useful and the word “bag” is useful, too.
It gives us some interesting phrases（短语）.One is “to let the cat out of the bag" It is the same as “to tell the
secret”. There is an old interesting story about it.

Long ago, when people sold things in big cloth（布）bags, a woman asked  a man for a pig. The man held up his cloth
bag. There seemed to be a little pig in it. The woman asked to see it. When the
man opened the cloth bag, a big black cat ran out. Not a pig! The man's secret
was out and everyone knew it.

Now when someone lets out（泄漏）a secret, he "let's the cat out of the
bag". And that is the story where the interesting phrase came from.
