MAYA THE BIRD AND
TAHONG THE MUSSEL
Tahong, the mussel, was
opening its shell to bask in
the sun when Maya, the
bird, pecked at it. Tahong,
the mussel, was quick. It
clamped down Maya’s beak
and held it fast.
If it doesn’t rain today or tomorrow,”
said Maya, “there will be a dead mussel
lying here.”
“If you can’t pry loose today or
tomorrow,” retorted Tahong, “there will
be a dead bird here, too.”
As neither of them would give way, a
passing fisherman caught them both.
Have you spotted at least 8 nouns?
What are these nouns?
Maya shell
bird beak
Tahong sun
mussel fisherman
FUNNY LANGUAGE
We’ll begin with box, the plural is boxes But
the plural of ox should be oxen not oxes. One
fowl is a goose, but two are called geese Yet the
plural of moose could never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse, or a whole rest of

mice But the plural of house is houses, not .If
the plural of man should always be men Why is
the plural of pan, pans and not pen?
The cow in the plural maybe called cows or kine But
the plural of vow is vows never vine If I speak at a
foot and you show your two feet When I give you a
boot, will a pair be called beet? If one is a tooth and a
whole set are teeth Why is the plural of booth called
booths not beeth? We speak of brother, make it two
becomes brethren But though we say mother, we
never say methren. Is it true that English can confuse
you and me? I would love to discover the farther side
of thee Learning the language would be fun, you will
see We’ll deal with English as funny as can be.
Now you may group the nouns you see in the poem
according to how they form their plural. The first one
is done for you.
