How Fast Can You Say
This Tongue Twister?
Betty Botter bought
some butter.
"But," she said, "the butter's bitter.
If I put it in my batter, it will make my batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter-- that would make my batter better."
So she bought a bit of butter, better than her bitter butter.
And she put it in her batter, and the batter was not bitter.
So 'twas better Betty Botter bought a bit of better butter!
