The following is another good "tongue twister" (see No. ). It is recommended for the little lisper, and in former days it was recommended as a sure cure for the hiccoughs.

For twisting a twist three twists he will twist;
But if one of the twists untwists from the twist,
The twist untwisting untwists the twist.
