Whatzit? #4


The answer to Whatzit? 3 is, “turn the other cheek.” My first guess was “cheek to cheek,” as well as some of you said, but of course, there had to be a more difficult answer. I ‘googled’ the answer and found this:

“Turn the other cheek”
An adaption of a command of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount: “Ye have heard that is hath been said, “An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth”; but I say unto you, that ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.”
‡ To “turn the other cheek” is thus to accept injuries and not seek revenge.

I think that I’ve heard the phrase before but I never understood what it meant. Unfortunately the answer was not as simple as Frank Sinatra’s, “Cheek to Cheek!” I do like that song though..."Heaven, I’m in heaven, and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak, and I seem to find the happiness I seekwhen were out together dancing cheek to cheek.”
My next puzzle is kind of hard to guess without knowing one of the words, so feel free to search the net! It won’t give it completely away...
