A teacher asked her students to use the word
"fascinate" in a sentence.
Marta said, "My family went to the Louisville Zoo,
and it was fascinating to see all the animals."
The teacher said, "That was good, but I wanted the
word 'fascinate.'"
Sarita raised her hand. She said, "My family went to
the Cincinnati Zoo and I was fascinated by the
animals."
"That's good, too," said the teacher, "but I wanted
the word 'fascinate."
Little Billy raised his hand.
The teacher hesitated because Billy was noted for
his bad language, but surely he couldn't damage the
word "fascinate," so she called on him.
Billy said proudly, "My sister has a sweater with 10
buttons, but her breast are so big she can only
fasten eight."
