Within a stone's throw
Dog in the manger
Hold your ground
Burn the midnight oil
Pull one's leg
Burst into tears
A golden opportunity
Bone of contention
To stay up working, especially studying, late at night.
An excellent opportunity that is not likely to be repeated
To begin to cry suddenly
To kid, fool, or trick someone
To refuse to move backwards, especially when you are being attacked
Very close to something
The subject or point of an argument
One who prevents others from enjoying something despite having no use for it.
