100 Tongue Twisters to Perfect Pronunciation in English

Diana Lăpușneanu in Language Tips | Aug 23rd 2019

Ready to have a laugh and twist your tongue into a knot?

Tongue twisters of all sorts and sizes have been helping people to perfect their pronunciation in English for decades. Although they don’t make a lot of sense, tongue twisters are very helpful in speech therapy due to their repeated sounds. For this reason, they are used by actors, politicians and even news anchors before going live. Essentially, a tongue twister works like a physical exercise: the more you practice, the better your pronunciation will be.

According to the Cambridge Dictionary, a tongue twister is “a sentence or phrase that is intended to be difficult to say, especially when repeated quickly and often”. If you too want to improve or perfect your English pronunciation, dive into the complete list of English tongue twisters listed below: from short tongue twisters to tongue twisters for kids and hard tongue twisters to further challenge your pronunciation.

1. Short tongue twisters
2. Long tongue twisters
3. Hard tongue twister
4. Tongue twisters for kids
5. Funny tongue twisters
6. Tongue twisters with S, R, L and TH

But Eminem’s songs and long tongue twisters are challenging for those who are not ready for long runs. Are you? Can you defeat Eminem? Let’s find out. Take a deep breath and try saying the following tongue twister without stopping.

    Made in a proper copper coffee pot.

    If I can’t have a proper cup of coffee from a proper copper coffee pot, I’ll just have tea.

    To sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock,
    In a pestilential prison, with a life-long lock,
    Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock,
    From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block!
    A dull, dark dock, a life-long lock,
    A short, sharp shock, a big black block!
    To sit in solemn silence in a pestilential prison,
    And awaiting the sensation
    From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block!
33. Betty Botter bought some butter but, said she, the butter’s bitter.
    If I put it in my batter, it will make my batter bitter.
    But a bit of better butter will make my bitter batter better.
    So she bought some better butter, better than the bitter butter,
    put it in her bitter batter, made her bitter batter better.
    So ‘t was better Betty Botter bought some better butter.
34. I’m a mother pheasant plucker, I pluck mother pheasants.

    I’m not the pheasant plucker I’m the pheasant plucker’s mate, I’m only plucking Pheasants ’cause the pheasant plucker’s late.
35. A tree-toad loved a she-toad
    Who lived up in a tree.
    He was a two-toed tree-toad,
    But a three-toed toad was she.
    The two-toed tree-toad tried to win
    The three-toed she-toad’s heart,
    For the two-toed tree-toad loved the ground
    That the three-toed tree-toad trod.
    But the two-toed tree-toad tried in vain;
    He couldn’t please her whim.
    From her tree-toad bower,
    With her three-toed power,
    The she-toad vetoed him.

36. Mr. See owned a saw.
    And Mr. Soar owned a seesaw.
    Now, See’s saw sawed Soar’s seesaw
    Before Soar saw See,
    Which made Soar sore.
    Had Soar seen See’s saw
    Before See sawed Soar’s seesaw,
    See’s saw would not have sawed
    Soar’s seesaw.

    just because See’s saw sawed
    Soar’s seesaw.
37. Ned Nott was shot and Sam Shott was not.

    Or Nott was shot.
    If the shot Shott shot shot Nott, Nott was shot.
    But if the shot Shott shot shot Shott,
    Then Shott was shot, not Nott.
    However, the shot Shott shot shot not Shott, but Nott.
38. Theophilus Thistle, the Thistle Sifter,
    Sifted a sieve of unsifted thistles.

    Where is the sieve of un-sifted thistles
    Theophilus Thistle, the Thistle Sifter, sifted?
39. A flea and a fly in a flue
    Said the fly “Oh what should we do”

40. Of all the felt I ever felt,
    I never felt a piece of felt
    which felt as fine as that felt felt,
    when first I felt that felt hat’s felt.

While we’re at it, we can help but wonder what the hardest tongue twister in existence is. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

At one point, “the sixth sick sheikh’s sixth sheep’s sick” held the Guinness World Record for the hardest twister, but since the category no longer exists, the title was probably revoked.

Don’t worry though! We are not running out of options. In 2013, MIT‌ researchers concluded that “pad kid poured curd pulled cod” is the hardest tongue twister in the world. In fact, Stefanie Shattuck-Hufnagel, an MIT psychologist, says you will get a prize if you manage to say that 10 times quickly. And not any kind of “quickly”. We’re talking super-sonic-Eminem-quickly!

41. Pad kid poured curd pulled cod.
42. If you must cross a course cross cow across a crowded cow crossing, cross the cross coarse cow across the crowded cow crossing carefully.
43. Brisk brave brigadiers brandished broad bright blades, blunderbusses, and bludgeons — balancing them badly.
44. Six sick hicks nick six slick bricks with picks and sticks.
45. Can you can a canned can into an un-canned can like a canner can can a canned can into an un-canned can?
46. The sixth sick sheikh’s sixth sheep’s sick.
47. Rory the warrior and Roger the worrier were reared wrongly in a rural brewery.
48. Ingenious iguanas improvising an intricate impromptu on impossibly-impractical instruments.
49. I saw Susie sitting in a shoe shine shop
    Where she shines, she sits, and where she sits, she shines.
50. When a doctor doctors a doctor, does the doctor doing the doctoring doctor as the doctor being doctored wants to be doctored or does the doctor doing the doctoring doctor as he wants to doctor?
51. These thousand tricky tongue twisters trip thrillingly off the tongue.
52. Thirty-three thirsty, thundering thoroughbreds thumped Mr. Thurber on Thursday.
53. Brisk brave brigadiers brandished broad bright blades, blunderbusses, and bludgeons—balancing them badly.
54. A skunk sat on a stump and thunk the stump stunk, but the stump thunk the skunk stunk.
55. Give papa a cup of proper coffee in a copper coffee cup.
56. He threw three free throws.
57. Near an ear, a nearer ear, a nearly eerie ear.
58. Many an anemone sees an enemy anemone.
59. Chop shops stock chops.

Tongue twisters for kids are all sweet, fun, and games until you increase the speed. If you haven’t had enough training, even they can tie your tongue into a Gordian knot. Literally.

Take a little brother, sister, or your own kid, and let’s see who wins the challenge!

77. I scream, you scream,
    We all scream for ice cream.
78. Bouncing bed bugs borrowed blankets.
79. Perspicacious Polly Perkins purchased Peter’s product
    And peddled pickles to produce a pretty profit!

Our all-time favorite: funny tongue twisters! You’d think all tongue twisters are funny, but nothing compares to this exclusive selection. In fact, you probably heard these ones before. Everybody calls them „funny” for a reason!

Don’t forget to challenge your friends!

Tongue twisters with S, R, L and TH

As we already mentioned, tongue twisters can be extremely helpful for speech therapy. If you are having problems pronouncing certain sounds like “s”, “r”, “l” or “th”, practicing with the right tongue twisters can ameliorate your speech impediment. Here are a few examples:

Tongue twisters with S

88. She sells seashells by the seashore of Seychelles.

Tongue twisters with TH

    But the thought I thought
    Wasn’t the thought I thought I thought.

    Had been the thought I thought,
    I wouldn’t have thought I thought.
99. Something in a thirty-acre thermal thicket of thorns and thistles thumped and thundered threatening the three-D thoughts of Matthew the thug – although, theatrically, it was only the thirteen-thousand thistles and thorns through the underneath of his thigh that the thirty-year-old thug thought of that morning.
100. Thirty-three thousand feathers on a thrushes throat.

The world-famous Peter Piper tongue twister first appeared in print sometime in 1813, in a book called “Peter Piper’s Practical Principles of Plain and Perfect Pronunciation”, though it is believed that it may have already been in common use by that time. Fast forward to today, people all around the world still love to have a laugh and twist their tongues with this rhyme and many others. And now you do too.

Try these hard tongue twisters

Think you have a quick tongue? These tongue twisters will put your mouth to the test. Unlike brain teasers and hard riddles, tongue twisters aren’t really testing your mental acumen (though it can certainly be a mental exercise to figure out how to say them in the first place!). They’re simply testing your ability to say the words in order! And since they’re often packed with hard words to pronounce, that’s often way easier said than done. (And by “done,” we mean “said.”) See how many you can say before you start tripping over your words. If you need a brain boost before starting these tongue twisters, try these brain games that will test your smarts. And if you want to ease into these hard tongue twisters, try these tongue twisters for kids first.

difficult tongue twisters, the largest Liguria

Using the most complex tongue twisters, you can make your speech more clear, beautiful and correct. Good articulation is essential for everyone. However, there are a number of professions where it is simply impossible without it. Actors, singers, journalists, presenters, announcers, lawyers, public people must speak clearly and clearly. To achieve this, you need to constantly train. And long and complex tongue twisters for diction help with this. Memorizing and quickly pronouncing certain phrases works for the speech apparatus in the same way as charging for our body.

Features of working with complex tongue twisters

First, it is worth understanding how tongue twisters help in the development of the articulatory apparatus. First of all, such difficult phrases are focused on improved pronunciation of consonants. If you work with tongue twisters regularly, that is, every day for at least 5 minutes, then speaking a complex and long text will not be difficult for you.

There are a few rules that should be observed during training when pronouncing the most difficult tongue twisters for diction.

Basic rule - regular classes. In order not to forget about them, you can go for a little trick. It is recommended to write or print about five phrases on a large sheet: one phrase per sheet. It is recommended to hang such “cheat sheets” in the most prominent places: on the refrigerator, on the TV, on the mirrors, on the computer, etc. Then you will not forget about the classes.

Second rule - consistency. You need to pronounce tongue twisters every day, even if it is very difficult. It is recommended to do at least three approaches, each of which will last 10 minutes.

Third rule is a permanent update. In order to engage in the development of articulation was not boring, approximately every 7-10 days you should change the group of elective tongue twisters. However, this is not just about boredom. Systematic updating allows avoiding the habituation of the articulatory apparatus to the selected texts.

How to approach classes correctly?

If you decide to develop diction, do not try to do everything right immediately. Do not think that you will immediately be able to pronounce the most complex and long tongue twister in the world for adults. Approach the process wisely. Try to pronounce each word rhythmically and slowly, immediately delving into the very meaning of the sentence. It is better to increase the pace gradually. Learn to pronounce the text in one breath.

In order for the articulation apparatus development session to be useful, get used to warming up a little before it. How to do it? Very simple! First, say these sounds three times: “k” and “g”. Slightly open your mouth. In this position, try to pronounce the following vowels: a, o, e. Each sound is called at least three times. At the end of the gymnastics, “rinse” your mouth with air. This will allow you to relax your muscles. After that, you can practice on short tongue twisters.

Small tricks

There is one more trick of a competent approach to working on diction. Make a voice recorder and a mirror an invariable attribute of your studies. To understand how correct your articulation is, read very complex tongue twisters in front of a mirror. Record each session on a tape recorder. This approach will allow you to track the level of progress and identify weaknesses.

The most difficult tongue twisters for diction

Start working on diction using difficult tongue twisters. Take first 5, then 10, then 15 or more idioms. But tongue twisters should be both short and monosyllabic. Below are some good examples.

You can use fairly fast and heavy tongue twisters in which words are repeated - they are good for adult diction. There are many rare and very unusual tongue twisters in Russian that have no analogues in the world. It will be more interesting for children and teenagers to use funny tongue twisters or little-known ones to develop diction. Below are some phrases in this format.

Short and medium-length difficult phrases can be combined with each other, but keep in mind: the text must get a certain meaning, otherwise it will be difficult to remember. Often, in the course of such experiments, very non-standard and cool tongue twisters are obtained that no one else in the world knows.

Start with the simplest tongue twisters and gradually move on to the longest phrases to develop diction. Here you can use both popular idioms and unknown ones. Increase the speed of difficulty in stages. First, use the top of your favorite tongue twisters - let them be 25 or a little less. Over time, include in your arsenal more and more difficult versions. Such solutions are suggested below.

Correct and clear speech allows you to achieve success in your career. Clear articulation is necessary for all people, but it is especially important for announcers, actors and public people. Tongue twisters for the development of diction make speech understandable, articulation correct. How to choose the right tongue twisters?

Patter is a naive and primitive text that combines intricate and difficult combinations of syllables and words. They are often confused with proverbs. But proverbs and sayings carry worldly wisdom and experience. Tongue twisters are not so deep in meaning - they are intended to train diction and eliminate speech defects. Funny content allows you to quickly memorize tongue twisters - daily activities will be fun.

Tongue twisters are short and simple - they are used for activities with children. Announcers and public people need to master long and complex tongue twisters. Children's and adult tongue twisters often differ only in meaning, since speech problems do not depend on age. The longest and most complex tongue twisters are designed to work out 3-5 complex sounds at once.

Before starting classes, you need to objectively assess the problematic sounds in speech. Each tongue twister is designed to improve a specific combination of sounds. Therefore, after analyzing the speech, you can direct efforts to problematic sound combinations.

With the help of tongue twisters improve diction, articulation, rate of speech. People who naturally speak quickly should pronounce difficult talkers slowly, clearly highlighting each sound.

The longest and most complex tongue twister is Liguria. This is a logical story, which is made up of popular hard talk. It is used for setting diction to speakers.

On Thursday, the 4th, at 4 and a quarter, the Ligurian traffic controller regulated in Liguria, but 33 ships tacked, tacked, but did not catch it, and then the protocol about the protocol was recorded by the protocol, as the interviewed Ligurian traffic controller eloquently, yes, he didn’t report cleanly, but he reported in such a way about the wet weather that so that the incident would not become a contender for judicial precedent, the Ligurian traffic controller acclimatized in unconstitutional Constantinople, where crested laughers laughed with laughter and shouted to the Turk, who was blackly stoned with a pipe: don’t smoke, Turk, pipe, better buy a bale of pik, better buy a bale of piks, otherwise a bombardier from Brandeburg will come - he will bombard him with bombs because some black-nosed half of his yard has dug up, dug and undermined with his snout; but in fact the Turk was not in business, and Klara-Kralya was sneaking to the chest at that time, while Karl was stealing corals from Clara, for which Klara stole the clarinet from Karl, and then in the yard of the tarry widow Varvara 2 these thieves stole firewood; but sin - not laughter - not to put it in a nut: about Clara and Karl in the darkness, all the crayfish rustled in a fight - that’s not up to the scorer, the thieves had, but not up to the tarry widow, and not up to the tarry children; but the angry widow removed the firewood into the barn: one firewood, 2 firewood, 3 firewood - all the firewood did not fit, and 2 woodcutters, 2 woodcutters-woodcutters for Varvara, who became emotional, drove the firewood across the yard back to the woodyard, where the heron was stunted, the heron was dry, the heron died; the heron's chick clung tenaciously to the chain; well done against the sheep, and against the young man the sheep itself, which carries Senya hay in a sleigh, then carries Senka Sonya and Sanka on a sled: the sled is a lope, Senka is to the side, Sonya is on the forehead, everything is in a snowdrift, and from there only a cone cap knocked down, then Sasha went along the highway, Sasha found a sachet on the highway; Sonya - Sashka's girlfriend was walking along the highway and sucking dry, and besides, Sonya the turntable also had 3 cheesecakes in her mouth - exactly in a honey cake, but she had no time for a honey cake - Sonya, even with cheesecakes in her mouth, reprimands the sexton, - overreacts: buzzing, like a ground beetle, buzzing, and spinning: she was at Frol's - Frol lied to Lavr, she would go to Lavr to Frol, Lavra would tell lies that - a sergeant-major with a sergeant-major, a captain with a captain, a snake had a snake, a hedgehog had a hedgehog, and a high-ranking guest took him away a cane, and soon again 5 guys ate 5 honey mushrooms and a quarter of a quarter of a quarter of lentils without a wormhole, and 1666 pies with whey curd from curdled milk - about all that, the bells rang bells ringing, so much so that even Konstantin - a Salzburg unpromising from - under an armored personnel carrier, he stated: as all the bells cannot be re-belled, not re-belled, so all tongue twisters cannot be re-speak, not re-speak; but trying is not torture.

Articulation gymnastics

Articulation teaches you to place your tongue and lips correctly, to direct the air flow. Gymnastics prepares the articulatory apparatus for pronunciation of complex tongue twisters.

Practice every day for 3-5 minutes. Perform exercises while sitting, the back is straight, the muscles are relaxed. Perform gymnastics in front of a mirror to control the correctness of the exercises. Perform each exercise until a slight tension of the facial muscles.

Basic exercises:

• Smile broadly, expose upper and lower teeth, hold for 10 seconds.
• Pull lips forward, blow on an invisible fluff.
• Alternate the first and second exercises at a fast and slow pace. The lower jaw must remain motionless.
• Open and close your mouth in a wide smile.
• Smile, open your mouth, put a wide tongue on your lower lip.
• Open your mouth, stick out your tongue, pull out the tip - the tongue becomes narrow.
• Alternate wide and narrow tongue at a slow and fast pace.
• Raise the tip of the tongue behind the upper front teeth.
• Fix the tongue behind the lower front teeth.
• Move the tongue up and down, fix for 2 seconds behind the upper and lower teeth.
• Lower the tip of the tongue, move it deep into the mouth. Alternately bring the tongue closer to the right and left front incisors.

This gymnastics is the best practice for mastering the basic correct positions of the lips and tongue.

Articulation exercises

Tongue twisters are aimed at improving the pronunciation of consonant sounds. But learning to speak tongue twisters correctly is impossible without knowing the basics of articulation of vowel sounds. These rules will teach you to pronounce sounds clearly, which will make it easier to pronounce complex sound combinations in difficult speeches.

Rules for the articulation of vowels:

• Sound "a". Open your mouth in the form of a wide ring, place 2 fingers folded on top of each other between the teeth. Cover the lower teeth with a lip, the upper teeth are open. Inhale - hold your breath - as you exhale, pronounce the sound very quietly.
• "y" sound. Pull the lips forward with the proboscis. As you exhale, pronounce the sound for as long as possible.
• The sound "o". The lips are folded into a ring, slightly extended forward and stretched. Place your thumb between your teeth. Air should pass into the gap between the teeth, not rest against the palate and teeth.
• Sound "s". Place the little finger between the teeth, the lips are stretched, the lower jaw is slightly pushed forward. Air passes clearly between the teeth.
• Sound "and". Place the tip of the little finger between the teeth. As you exhale, pronounce the sound. Air must pass clearly between the teeth, otherwise whistling will be heard.

How to practice

In order for the results of the classes to be noticeable, you must follow the following rules:

• pronounce tongue twisters regularly - daily 2-5 times for 10 minutes;
• reminders - print out 3–5 tongue twisters on a sheet, hang them in prominent places;
• changes - tongue twisters should be changed every 10 days so that the articulatory apparatus does not get used to.

Do not immediately try to pronounce the tongue twister quickly. It is necessary to pronounce each word slowly and rhythmically, to understand the meaning of the difficult phrase. Increase the pace gradually, trying to pronounce the phrase in one breath. Pay special attention to the clear pronunciation of endings - activate consonant sounds, and not make them heavier.

Do a light warm-up before starting exercise. Say the sound "g", "k" three times. Then, with your mouth half open, say the vowels “a”, “o”, “e” - each sound 3 times. Rinse your mouth with air to relax your muscles.

A mirror and a voice recorder will help to improve diction. In front of the mirror, you should silently pronounce the tongue twister, following the articulation. Then pronounce the difficult speech in a whisper, while all sounds should be clear and audible.

Each lesson should be recorded on a voice recorder. This will allow you to hear how diction improves, what points to pay attention to.

In the future, you need to pronounce tongue twisters in motion - dance, squat. This will help diversify classes, teach you to keep pace and breath.

How to read tongue twisters correctly to become an announcer

To learn how to speak quickly, you first need to learn how to speak clearly slowly. When familiarizing yourself with a tongue twister, you need to repeat the most difficult words several times - you need to achieve their easy and free sound.

It is meaningless to pronounce a difficult talker by syllables incorrectly - this makes speech heavier, makes it unnatural. Each phrase must be pronounced in 2-3 tempos. Speakers with slow speech need to pronounce tongue twisters slowly, quickly and very quickly. With a fast pace of speech, you need to pronounce phrases slowly and quickly.

At the initial stage, pronounce vowel sounds quietly, consonants - clearly and loudly. Gradually, the volume of the sound must be increased, read the tongue twister in full force. At the same time, tilt your head from side to side, move your tongue to your lips - this exercise gives the effect of quiet vowel sounds. You can pronounce the tongue twister through your nose pinched with your fingers - this improves diction.

Begin classes with monosyllabic, short tongue twisters, gradually moving on to long and complex tongue twisters.

Pronounce the first part of the length of the tongue twister in a semi-singing voice, gradually raising the tone of the voice to the highest point. The second part is pronounced in decline - from the highest key to the lowest. At the end, in the middle tone, say the last 2 lines of the tongue twister again.

Tongue twisters can be combined, complex and long semantic combinations can be made from them. A tongue twister describes some action or event. The task of the novice speaker is to convey the essence of the tongue twister.

Learning to speak clearly and correctly is a difficult task. To achieve results, you need to learn 200 tongue twisters for the development of diction - simple and complex, long and short. You should practice several times a day, practicing a clear pronunciation of various sounds.

Complicated and even simple tongue twisters can not only make you laugh if you pronounce them incorrectly, but can also be very useful. Find out why tongue twisters are needed, which ones are the most difficult to pronounce, and also how to train speech in this way.

Tongue twisters complex and simple existed for a very, very long time. But their original purpose has not yet been established. Some philologists believe that such complex phrases were just a way to have fun and have fun in those days when there were no televisions or anything like that. And others are sure that the first tongue twisters are complex, but sometimes completely unpronounceable appeared in Rus'. Russian women with their help taught their children to speak.

As for the present time, tongue twisters are used by speech therapists when teaching children and adolescents to pronounce any letters. In addition, they help improve diction and make speech more clear and understandable. So "pure tongues" (as they are also sometimes called) are periodically spoken by actors, singers, announcers and other people whose professions are somehow connected with performances or conversations.

So, which tongue twisters are difficult and so unpronounceable that not a single tongue has already twisted and tied into a knot? This, of course, is not, but nevertheless.

5. Timur terrorized Tamara, terrorized, and terrorized.

6. Tall man Vavilo in Babylon merrily stirred and tossed the pitchfork.

7. Buy a pile of pik (this phrase seems very short and incredibly simple, but if you try to say it 10 times in a row, your opinion can change dramatically).

8. Branchy winding grapes (emphasis on the letter "v"). Ah, apricot fresh flavor! Large butterflies are chatting (the main letter here is "b"). Blue carnation is sad (emphasis on "g").

Compound tongue twisters They will not be effective and will not help develop speech if you pronounce them incorrectly. There is a whole technology of pronunciation of such phrases. It includes several stages.

1. Do not try to say a difficult phrase quickly and clearly right away. Will not work. In addition, the child may lose all his ardor and tune in to failure. So 1st step is slow tongue twister. Do this until each sound is mastered.

2. 2nd step - study of the articulation of the lips. You need to pronounce the phrase to yourself (without pronouncing it), actively moving the lips. If everything is done correctly, then the text can be read by lips. In this phase, a mirror will be very useful to you.

3. You can now whisper text . It was in a whisper, but not to hiss or whistle a phrase.

4. Now you should say the phrase out loud . Slow, clear and understandable. You need to speak until the phrase is imprinted in memory and is pronounced perfectly.

5. Another tongue twister can be spoken with different intonations. You can even sing a phrase. This helps to master the most complex sounds and consolidate them.

6. Well, now you can work out speed . But it is worth increasing it gradually, pronouncing the words each time faster and faster.

Let complex tongue twisters be remembered, pronounced easily and improve speech. Note: pronunciation of difficult tongue twisters is a great way to improve speech not only in Russian, but also in any foreign language.

TV presenter of the Baltic Channel Elena Solomina showed a stunning class by pronouncing a 2.5-minute tongue twister in one breath and without a single mistake. The most difficult tongue twister is called "Liguria" .

Elena managed to pronounce all sorts of intricate turns of speech in the Russian language, which delighted the viewers of the TV channel. In general, look and be surprised.

On Thursday the fourth at four and a quarter, the Ligurian traffic controller was regulating in Liguria, but thirty-three ships tacked, tacked, and never caught. And then the protocol about the protocol was recorded as a protocol, how the Ligurian traffic controller interviewed by the interviewer spoke loudly, but not cleanly, but so reported about the wet weather that so that the incident would not become a contender for a judicial precedent, the Ligurian traffic controller acclimatized in unconstitutional Constantinople, where crested laughter girls laughed and they shouted to the Turk, who was blackly stoned with a pipe: don’t smoke, Turk, a pipe, better buy a bale of peaks, better buy a bale of pips, otherwise a bombardier from Brandeburg will come - he will bombard him with bombs because some black-nosed half of his yard has dug up, dug and undermined with a snout; but in fact the Turk was not in business.

And Klara-kralya was sneaking to the chest at that time, while Karl was stealing corals from Klara, for which Klara stole the clarinet from Karl, and then in the yard of the tarry widow Varvara, these two thieves stole firewood. But it’s a sin - not laughter - not to put it in a nut: about Clara and Karl in the darkness, all the crayfish rustled in a fight - that’s not up to the scorer to thieves, but not up to the tarry widow, and not up to the tarry children. But the angry widow removed the firewood into the shed: one firewood, two firewood, three firewood - all the firewood did not fit, and two woodcutters, two woodcutters-woodcutters for Varvara, who became emotional, drove the firewood across the yard back to the woodyard, where the heron withered, the heron dried up, the heron died.

The heron's chick clung tenaciously to the chain; well done against the sheep, and against the young man the sheep itself, which carries Senya hay in a sleigh, then carries Senka Sonya and Sanka on a sled: the sled is a lope, Senka is to the side, Sonya is on the forehead, everything is in a snowdrift, and from there only a cone cap knocked down Then Sasha went along the highway, Sasha found a sachet on the highway. Sonya, Sashka’s girlfriend, was walking along the highway and sucking dry food, and besides, Sonya the turntable also had three cheesecakes in her mouth - exactly like a honey cake, but she didn’t care for the honey cake - Sonya, even with cheesecakes in her mouth, overreacted the sexton, - overreacted: buzzing, like ground beetle, buzzing, yes spinning.

Was at Frol's - Frol told lies about Lavra, he will go to Lavr about Frol Lavra tells lies that he is a watchman with a watchman, a captain with a captain, a snake has a snake, a hedgehog has a hedgehog, and his high-ranking guest took away his cane, and soon again five boys ate five and a quarter quarters of wormhole-free lentils again, and sixteen hundred and sixty-six yogurt whey curd pies.

The bells rang about everything near the stake, so much so that even Konstantin, a Salzburg unpromising person from under an armored personnel carrier, stated: just as all the bells cannot be re-belled, not re-belled, so all tongue twisters cannot be re-speak, not re-speak.
