A: I saw a great movie on TV last night.
B: Really, what was it called?
A: Something about a knight.
B: "The Black Knight" with Tina Louise? I love that movie.
A: No, that's not it. Oh, it's on the tip of my tongue.
B: That OK. I missed it anyway.

A: Are you working overtime tonight?
B: Yes, because the second shift person is late.
A: Do you get paid for it?
B: No, I don't.
A: That's a real pain in the neck.
B: I don't want to do it, but I have to.

As the work, so the pay
身から出た錆
Explanation:
Two friends, A and B met. They learn at the same school. A wants to read. He says to B: 'B, you have so many nice books. Can you lend me one?'
But B is selfish, he does not lend books. He replies: 'Why do you want to take it home? You can read it here, in my house!' A thinks that his friend is a bad boy, but he does not say anything.
The following week, B comes to A and says: 'A, you have a good garden knife. Can you lend it to me? I want to use it in my garden tomorrow.' A answers: 'Why do you want to take my knife home? You can use it in my garden.' (lol)

I've just created the gadget for tracking all the words I have been learning recently. It's written based on to do list gadget.
After adding, it looks like the following picture

You can add any words or phrases you want to track in this list. If you forget the meaning of the word, just click on the icon next to it.
I created this for learning English and Japanese words/phrases so the dictionary in the gadget is also for English and Japanese as well.

肥沃な (ひよくな): fertile
Good crops require fertile land to grow on.
This fertile land is home to numerous varieties of trees.
When leaves decay they make the soil more fertile.
Crops grow better in fertile soil.
Despite the fertile soil, few crops grew due to lack of sunlight.
