RC She sells sea shells by the sea shore
Well, this is a famous tongue twister! I have expanded it a bit into a little story. They put the verbs into the present simple tense. If they succeed in saying: she sells sea shells by the sea shore: three times quickly, try them on this one, which nobody can do! It is impossible and it is just a name! PEGGY BABCOCK.
