inordinately greedy

keep the right distance

cannot approach

cover a wide range

brash physical courage(attack a tiger unarmed and cross a river without a boat)

Shelter from the army

not worth two hoots

the crane that does not dance--incapable

Bone involvement

be not mutually exclusive

to be a finished product(to be polished again and again)

with endless variations

a grab bag(a motley vaiety of)

Bole judging horses--praising those who are good at discovering talent

Unaltered forever

full of variety(most changeful)

spick and span

have no sense of priority

keep in(keep to the house)

wear cotton clothes and eat vegetables
