OscarsHi. I'm William. And here's... er, something that looks a bit like Li, but kind of half-Li half-animal. Are you okay Li?
Yes, I am very well, thank you.
I don't mean to be rude, but. why have you got a large, bushy tail today?
Well, it was an order from the boss.
The boss told you to come in with a tail?
Yes.
Right. What about the bright, sparkling glitter around your eyes?
Oh, that too. Don't you think it makes my eyes look lovely and bright?
Well, yeah, they are kind of dazzling.
I think he will be pleased. Yesterday he wasn't pleased with me. He said I looked bored and tired. It's true I didn't get much work done, I'd had a late night.
Right. So what will the tail and sparkly eyes do, make you work harder?
Yes. Apparently.
Li, I'm not sure that the rest of the team will be able to concentrate with all of that fur and glitter in the office.
Well, it was the boss's idea, not mine.
Li, what did he actually say when he asked you to do this?
He said: 'Li, tomorrow I expect you to come in bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.'
Right. I hate to say this, but it's just an expression.
What? Just an expression? Why does this keep happening to me?
Er, Well, if you're bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, you're full of energy and enthusiasm. The boss didn't expect you to come in looking like some kind of squirrel on its way to the Oscars.
Oh.
He just wanted you to be a bit more motivated and energetic.
Oh, no, I'm never going to be able to get this tail off. I put so much glue on it. Oh, everyone will laugh at me.
Maybe. Here are some examples.
Wow, look at you, all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. It looks like you're ready for action.
After the summer holidays, the children returned to school bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
Oh, Will, what will people say when they look at my tail?
They'll probably just start feeding you nuts.
Oh, this is terrible.
Or maybe acorns.
What shall I do?
Well I wouldn't eat the acorns, but there's nothing wrong with nuts.
Will, help me. Pull this tail, please.
Okay. All right. Okay.
Pull, pull, pull.
Okay. Come on. Come on, silly tail.
It's all the boss's fault.
