那个草顶房子很漂亮,不过在古代好象大不一样

据说在古代,草顶房子上有很多猫和狗爬在上面保暖,下雨时就滑下来,所以有"rain cats and dogs"一说.

"raining cats and dogs" came from the middle ages, when houses had thatched roofs. To keep warm lots of animals would hide in the roofs when it was raining and sometimes fell through the flimsy roofs on to the streets below.
