This language lesson is on coming home:
sharing and caring. Maybe some of you, who
were fortunate enough to go on a summer
vacation, are now back at home and every
body in the household is getting ready for the
fall season. Hopefully these words will inspire
you to take up your native tongue.

There were two errors in the printing of this word puzzle, so we again applaud every
one who gave this puzzle a try-especially if you figured out what we did wrong!
(One box was missing to complete 1 down "hanoumea" and there was an extra box
following 4 across "nobekwitu".)
