This story was supposed to have
contractions and possessives in it. But the printer wasn't able to find the
apostrophe at first. Can you show him what the underlined words should be?
There is an ex-prince who
lives near a of a student house. He had
not been able to sleep for a long time. So he talked to his friends.
"You
should have asked us before," said his friends. "We would
have told you long ago. We have figured out that you are unhappy.
The reason is that you are not a prince anymore. You would not be
unhappy if you were a prince in this land. Does not that sound
right?"
"Who
is arguing?" said the ex-prince.
"But
you must not push these people," continued his friends. "They
are always doing things backwards, you know. Why, once the students all sat at
the of the teacher desk. But ask them to see if they want you to be a
prince of belonging to them."
When
the ex-prince came back, he was even more unhappy.
"What
is the matter?" asked his friends.
"Most
of belonging to you advice was right," said the prince. "But I
should not have asked them, because they are so backward. They
told me I could not be a prince unless I was turned into a frog!"
