- Once a fellow met a fellow in a field of beans. Said a fellow to a fellow, If a fellow asks a fellow, Can a fellow tell a fellow What a fellow means ?

- Can you can a can as a canner can can a can?

b) Let's revise the words and do a phonetic exercise now. Look at the blackboard.

There are cards with words there, but letters are mixed up in them. Your task is to look the words through and say what these words are and what their translation is.
