Martha is a fair weather friend. She is never there when I have a problem. If I call her to talk about my problems, she tells me that she is busy and hangs up quickly.
Correct answer: (b) fair weather friend _________________________
I chose 'fair weather friend' which is correct,but still a got a question.Why the answer is 'fair weather friend' because I think it sounds like she is good,because fair weather is like good by me.But the following sentence tells that Martha don't care about her friend in her sorrows,so how she could be a 'fair weather friend' |
