Finn: Thank you [bad word] with me to my late uncle's old house. He died recently.
(Creaking door)
Li: What a huge house!
Finn: Yes. My uncle, Frank Stein, left [bad word] for me to collect a suitcase which contains a donation to a school.
Li: kind man who lived in a huge dark house. Oh, what was that?!
Finn: An owl - spooky!
(Spooky sound)
Li: These wooden masks on the walls look very scary, Finn. Look - big eyes, twisted mouths…
Finn: Yes, they are from an old tribe I think.
(Spooky sound)
Li: Finn, why did your uncle have all this stuff?
Finn: Our family never had much contact with him. He was a bit of a loner with a mysterious past.
Li: Mysterious past?
Finn: Yes. He had a mysterious life. He was an adventurer and a gambler. His first wife was killed in an accident. The second one disappeared suddenly. He had a few skeletons in the closet!
Li: He has got skeletons in the closet! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!
Finn: Calm down, Li. In English, when we say that someone has a skeleton in the closet, we mean that they have a hidden secret which is embarrassing. Let's hear some examples.
Mr Burns had to resign his position as CEO, after it came to light that his brother was in jail for [bad word] Shareholders got scared he might have more skeletons in the closet.
I have always led a modest and honest life. There are no skeletons in my closet.
Li: That's a relief. So this is just an expression. There are no skeletons in these closets, are there?
Finn: Oh, no. No skeletons in these closets but...
Li: But what?
Finn: But here's the suitcase my uncle wanted to donate to a school after his death. And it has... (he opens the suitcase).
Li: skeleton!! This place must be haunted! Ohhhhh I'm out of here!! Ahhhhhhh!
Finn: Don't worry, Li! My uncle Frank Stein was a doctor. He wanted me to donate this skeleton to a medical school for students to examine!
