22. Conclusion
There was once a kid named Bob. Bob was very lassitude and lived a very somber life. However, one day when Bob was fighting for Women’s suffrage, he found himself in a quagmire. His problem was that he was too vacillate and used a very garrulous vocabulary while speaking in front of a myriad of people. Since he had a chronic habit of pronouncing his words with an accentuate sound, he sounded very beatific. Many people accosted him about how he sounded, and asked him if his nuance was a noxious health factor. One day when Bob was in cloister, unawares, a man jumped in the room and said Bob had a very incongruous voice. Bob thought this was a harrowing man so he went on his docile way. To try and aloof his accent from his voice, he disposed of his surfeit and moved on with his life.
