A Homonym Story
I told my son to go out in the sun and to haul some wood to a hall. He said he would, but he couldn't count the wood because he couldn't find the right sum. I told him not to worry because The Count knew how much wood there was, but he only wanted wood without knot holes.
Can you find the homonyms and tell me their different meanings?

Dear Prospector Parker,
I found the homonyms in your story. Here they are.
son = a boy child
sun = in the sky
would = will do something
wood = you get it from trees
some = amount of something like candy
sum = a thing like in a math problem. total
haul = carry some wood
hall = where some people walk
knot = tie a knot or place in wood
not = no

Dear Laura:
Congratulations on the homonyms!!! You picked out every one except one-- So if you want to look again, I'll give you a hint that it begins with "c". But you did a fantastic work--and super definitions of the words, also.
