i am shocked at some of these comments. first it’s spelled great, not grate. and this guy didn’t make these up, at least most are common similes. a whistle isn’t an animal. there are at least 3 simile examples with strong on this page. this guy isn’t going to invent new similes for y’all, especially with made up animals.. very weird request. after reading these comments i have completely lost faith in the american education system
