This language lesson is on coming home:
sharing and caring. Maybe some of you, who
were fortunate enough to go on a summer

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".)
