Imagine you're playing with your friends, and you notice that something seems a little fishy. It's like when you smell a yummy cake baking in the kitchen, but instead, you smell something yucky like stinky socks. That's when we say we "smell a rat."
When we "smell a rat, " it means we have a feeling that something tricky or not nice might be happening. It's like when you see your friend hiding a toy behind their back, and you wonder why they're being sneaky. You start thinking, "Hmm, something seems strange here." That's the same feeling we get when we "smell a rat" in a situation.
So, when someone says they "smell a rat, " it means they have a special sense that helps them notice when things aren't quite right. It's like a little alarm in their heads that says, "Be careful! Something might not be fair or honest." It's important to trust our instincts and be cautious when we feel like we "smell a rat."
