A little bird told me means a phrase used when someone does not want to say who gave the information. This answer is correct because the expression has a fixed figurative meaning in English. In an SSC idiom question, students should match the whole phrase with its accepted meaning rather than translate each word separately.

• Classroom example: A little bird told me can refer to a phrase used when someone does not want to say who gave the information.
• Story example: A writer may use A little bird told me when describing a phrase used when someone does not want to say who gave the information.
• Exam example: When a sentence contains A little bird told me, choose the meaning “a phrase used when someone does not want to say who gave the information.”
