Examples of Metaphor:
“What is one thing today becomes quite another thing tomorrow”.
Mma Ramotswe compares her agency to “a tiny white van, two desks, two chairs, a telephone, and an old typewriter. Then there was a teapot, in which Mma Ramotswe—the only lady private detective in Botswana—brewed redbush tea”
