your mouth closed. It’s important to breathe with your mouth closed.
- Eat your homework.
Humans cannot digest paper, but we can try. It is admirable that you try and
progress evolution this way.
- Notice the paradise ducks as you walk by the park.
Mum will want to hear about them.

4.There are less ducklings than there were yesterday.

You could hang someone else, but most people hang themselves.
- Watch your back.
