A bag is useful and the word "bag" is useful too. It gives us some interesting phrases. One is "to let the cat out of the bag." It is the same as "to tell a secret". There's an old interesting story about it.  Long ago, when people sold things in big cloth bags, a woman asked a man for a pig. The man held up his cloth bag. There seemed to be a little pig in it. The woman asked to see it. When the man opened the cloth bag, a big black cat ran out. Not a pig! The man's secret was out and everyone knew it.  Now when someone lets out a secret, he "lets the cat out of the bag". And that is the story where the interesting phrase came from.
