The little rascals were in class and the teacher was giving them a

spelling test.

She instructed them, "I want you to say the word, spell it and use it in

a sentence."

She asked Spanky to spell hate:

Hate, h...a....t....e, I hate Darla

She asked Alphalfa to spell love

Love, l...o....v....e, I love Darla

She asked Buckwheat to spell dictate

Dictate,, d...i...c...t...a...t...e, Darla, how my dictate las night?
