Question

Read the following passage and rewrite it replacing all idioms, without changing
the meaning of the passage.
Tragedy in Comedy
>
“Cut! .... Shot OK”, shouted the director. The funny face of the comedian suddenly
wore a worried look. He said to the director, "sir,....” The director did not allow him to say
any thing. He said, 'Yes, you can go.... .' Where should he go? The comedian really did not
understand what the director had meant. He could not make out what he said. As per the
original plans, the comedian had to attend the schedule for 15 more days continuously. This
put the comedian in soup as his wife was seriously ill. He was referring to the break he
needed to visit his wife and maybe the director was referring to the sets. Perhaps both of
them were talking to cross purposes. He had always been loyal to the firm that brought him
into the limelight.But he could not help his wife. He was in a tight corner then. Yes! He had
to face difficulties, yet he had to make people laugh. This was the paradox of his life. Wasn't
it a 'tragedy in comedy'?
