A Swahili Tongue Twister
Whew! If your minds are not twisted into knots by all of this tongue and mouth stuff, then I would guess that you are a master at untwisting tongue twisters. Maybe you're even ready for a Swahili tongue twister. Well, remember the proverb at the end of my queen termite story: "Hurry, hurry has no blessing?" In Swahili, this is not only a proverb, it is a twisting proverb: Haraka haraka haina baraka (Hah-rah-kah hah-rah-kah hah-ee-nah bah-rah-kah). Try saying that three times fast if you think you have a nimble tongue. If you can say it even once, that's great!
