Idiom Assignment "It's raining cats and dogs!"

I chose the idiom “it´s raining cats and dogs” because that’s what’s been going on the past days.  The non-literal meaning refers to when it’s raining really intensely or heavily.

People are not sure of the origin of this one, but many agree that it might have to do with mythology. The other possible source that at least three internet sites shares, was that it comes from versions of different words, like the French word “catadoupe” meaning waterfall or from a Greek expression “cata doxa.”

Dialogue:

-Hello?
-Hi Sam, it’s me Eve, do you think we can rehearse the play today?
-I don’t think so Eve, have you looked outside? It’s raining cats and dogs!
-Oh well, but we can find an indoors place to do it don´t you think?
-That´s not the problem, you know I the only way to move around for me is on my bike, and I cant go out when it’s raining like this.
-How about I pick you up?

-Then sure!
