Now I have a friend named Rufus Xavier Sasparilla.

And I can say that Rufus found a kangaroo that followed Rufus home

and now that kangaroo belongs to Rufus Xavier Sasparilla.

'Shhhhreeww!' I could say that, but I don't have to. Because I've got pronouns,

and I can say HE found a kangaroo that followed HIM home and now IT

is HIS. You see, HE, HIM, and HIS are pronouns

replacing the noun "Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla",

a very proper noun. And IT is a pronoun, replacing the noun, kangarooooooo!

Now comma!

Now, Rufus has a sister named

Rafaella Gabriela Sarsaparilla. If she found a kangaroo, I'd say to you SHE

found a kangaroo that followed HER home and now IT is HERS. But I can't say that

because she found an aardvark that fell in love with her

and THEY'RE so happy.

And my name's Albert Andreas Armadillo, no relation to the Sarsaparillas.

Because of pronouns, I can say "I wish SHE would

find a rhinocerous for me," and WE'D be happy!

You see, a pronoun was made to take the place of a noun

because saying all those nouns over and over again can really wear you down.

Now I could tell you Rafaella Gabriela, and Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla

and Albert Andreas Armadillo, found an aardvark, a kangaroo,

and a rhinoceros. And now that aardvark, and that kangaroo,

and that rhinoceros belong respectively to:

Rafaella Gabriela Sarsaparilla and Rufus Xavier Sarsaprilla and Albert Andreas Armadillo

'Shhhhh!' Because of pronouns, I can say, in this way

WE found THEM and THEY found US and now THEY are OURS

and WE'RE so happy! Thank you pronouns! You see a pronoun was made

to take the place of a noun, because saying all those nouns

over and over can really wear you down.

Sometimes when we take THEM all

on the bus, people really raise a fuss. THEY start shouting out loud,

pronouns at us, like "WHO brought that rhinoceros on this bus?"

and "WHAT made that horrible noise?" and "WHICH one of THEM'S getting off first?"

WHO, WHAT, and WHICH are special pronouns that can ask a question in a sentence

where you do not know the name of the noun, but I know,

I have mine, and SHE has HERS, and HE has HIS, and YOU have YOURS,

and THEY love US and WE love THEM, what's OURS is THEIRS, that's how it is with friends

and pronouns, you are really friends

Because saying all those nouns over and over can really wear you down.
