  • Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Proverbs 130. The proverb today is "The best

  • things in life are free. " Okay. Let's take a look at the note. The proverb

  • basically means that sometimes the most enjoyable or satisfying experiences in

  • life do not cost any money. It can also be used to suggest the price of

  • something may not suggest its true value. Sometimes we say that too. Like if we think

  • somebody's going to spend too much money for something and say hey you don't have

  • to do that the best things in life are free anyway. That's the way somebody

  • might use it. But anyway, let's look at several examples we have here. How his

  • proverb might be used. And they're all a/b parts. Here's number one. So A says she

  • often just likes to reminisce about the old times and laugh. And B says, well I

  • guess it's true. The best things in life are free. So this would be one way we

  • would use it or number two. The highlight of her day is when her daughter comes to

  • visit her in the old age home. So just seeing her daughter doesn't really have

  • anything to do with money. You know, it probably doesn't cost her daughter much.

  • Maybe just the transportation to the old-age home. So but it makes her mother happy.

  • And B would go and say well it just goes to show the best things in life are free.

  • So that's the way we would answer that. Or number three here. There is nothing

  • like a good hike up the mountain, experiencing nature and breathing in the

  • fresh air. Yeah. Usually you don't have to pay for this. You can hike up a mountain

  • for free in most cases. And B says that's right and it doesn't cost a cent. It means that

  • doesn't it cost any money at all. The best things in life are free. Okay. Now

  • sometimes I've also heard this used kind of in a sarcastic way and I do remember

  • one song that actually used it in a sarcastic way. So let's ,let's look back

  • here. So we say on another note. You know, because this is a little different. There

  • was a band called " the Flying Lizards " who had a big hit with a song called

  • "Money. " They used this proverb in their chorus you know , so they repeated it

  • a number of times throughout the song. And they repeated kind of it out like a

  • monotone or monotonous sort of a way. Where or a monotone way. That's what I wanted

  • to say. Where they said it in a very straight way. But anyway this is how it

  • went " The best things in life are free, but you can give them to the birds

  • and bees. I want money." That's what they said. "That's what I want. Your love gives

  • me such a thrill. But your love won't pay the bills. " But anyway she was repeating

  • this proverb throughout it and of course she's using it kind of in an opposite

  • way. But anyway, you could say there is a lot of truth to this sometimes. Sometimes

  • some of the best things in life you really don't don't actually cost you

  • , direct money right away. Okay anyway, I hope you got it. I hope

  • it was clear. I hope it was enjoyable. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
