On Tongue-twisters Are in Every Language: How much wood does a Palouse Falls marmot chuck?

  How much wood would a woodchuck chuck
If a woodchuck could chuck wood?
He would chuck, he would, as much as he could,
And chuck as much as a woodchuck would
If a woodchuck could chuck wood.

 

How much wood does a Palouse Falls marmot chuck? Not much, as there aren't many trees around Palous Falls State Park. Yes, a marmot is a woodchuck, a.k.a. groundhog. They're pretty easy-going, wouldn't you say? You can find marmots all over the world, just as you can find tongue-twisters in every language, not just English. Take Persian, for example. -gw
