|      A home-economics teacher was
trying to encourage her 
 third-graders to try new
foods. The teacher had a piece {of 
 venison,} [Adjective to "piece"]
which she cut up {into little 
 squares.} [Adverb to "cut
up"]  She placed the pieces {on 
 spoons} [Adverb to "placed"] 
and gave them {to each} [Adverb 
 to "gave"]  {of
the children.} [Adjective to "each"]
      "Now, boys and girls, the game
we're going to play today 
 is to taste this new food,
and to guess the name {of
the 
 animal} [Adjective to "name"]
{from which} [Adverb to "came"]
 this meat came," the teacher said. "I'll give you
 a hint -- it's a name that sometimes your mommy calls
 your daddy when he comes home {from
the office."} [Adverb
 to "comes"]
      There was a long pause. Finally
a youngster {in the 
 back}  [Adjective to
"yongster"] exclaimed, "Don't eat it!"
