  1. There was once a boy who was a great English reader.
    He knew all the big words (and didn't know) the little ones.
    One day the inspector came to the school and he asked the boy to read.
    The boy did so and he missed the word "bark".
    The teacher prompted him saying to him in a low voice "bark".
    The boy shouted up "bow-wow".
