idiom story

According to the local rag, our postman kicked the bucket last week. As he was a blackleg his colleagues gave him the cold shoulder because they were down in the mouth. Three of them, who were a pain in the neck, tried to kill him. Although they failed, now they are behind the bars. After leaving jail they came back to work but their boss didn’t want them working there anymore so he gave them a golden handshake. Some days after the events, they got on like a house on fire with a business man and he offered them the job of their lives. Then, you could find a crow’s feet on their face. Now they are working full of beans.
