English in a Minute: Kill Two Birds with One Stone 

EIM Kill Two Birds with One Stone
Welcome to English in a Minute … from home!
Birds are lovely animals. So, why would Anna and Jonathan want “to kill two birds with one stone”?
(Anna is outside sitting near her Red Flyer Wagon.)
J: Anna, where did you go with that red wagon?
A: Jonathan, I needed exercise and fruit.
J: Ah. So, you killed two birds with one stone by pulling the wagon to the store.
A: Yes! Now, if I can just find a way to read at the same time. (puts a book in front of her face)
J: Ooh, be careful.
If you kill two birds with one stone, you solve two problems or finish two tasks with one action. This saves time and energy. Just make sure the things you’re doing at the same time are safe to do at the same time!
And that’s English in a Minute!
