This statement is a fact. I know from personal experience. I observed when a gallon water jug was placed outside on a night reaching below freezing temperatures. The next morning after my dad went outside to grab the water jug, he found that there was a bulge on the side of the jug. This goes to show that when frozen, water expands, explaining as to why there was a bulge on the side of the gallon and all the water inside the jug had frozen and turned to ice.
Paraphrase? maybe. is it multiple choice?
That there is a message behind the story … such as the parable of the Good Samaritan is about not being a bigot.
