SHY STORIES

SHY STORIES

@teacherpaul2018

Obviously, you know what SHY means - not courageous, timid, someone who gets scared easily, etc. However, as with many words in English, there're other meanings sometimes.

So, alternatively, SHY means "not enough", "less than the full amount".

What about STORY? Obviously #2, you know this word by its meaning of "a story to tell", "a tale", "a novel" etc. A narrative, in a word. But at the same time we have an expression "a multistory apartment building".

So a STORY is not only "a story to tell", but "a story to live in", that is "a horizontal section of a building".

Read further on these words: SHY, STORY.
