A metaphor is a flower. A simile is like (or as) a flower. Both metaphor and simile compare one thing to another. The difference is that a simile uses the words 'like' or 'as', and metaphor doesn't. Metaphor: Life is a fountain. Simile: Life is like a fountain.
"He was a lion in the fight" is a metaphor.
