You have a lot of mettle.

Why do you get a medal made of metal?

You have a lot of bravery.

Mettle means to have courage or to be brave.

It also means to not quit or stand fast.

A medal is a reward for bravery.

And metal means something made of gold or silver or bronze, and so on.
 
 
 
 
 
You quail from a quail.

Why do I guffaw?

I laugh because a little bird scares you.

guffaw - a burst of deep loud laughter
