Sweater Lopping Book Michael Finger

Definition of a Spoonerism: A verbal error in which a speaker accidentally transposes the initial sounds or letters of two or more words, often to humorous effect, as in the sentence "you have hissed the mystery lectures", accidentally spoken instead of the intended sentence "you have missed the history lectures". Sweater Lopping Book is a book in which readers are tasked with figuring out the Spoonerism hidden within a drawing, by using only the drawing and the hint written below it. For instance, if the spoonerism was "Reading a Book" and "Beading a Rook", the illustration would show someone beading a chess piece, specifically the "Rook", and also reading a book, within the same picture. At the bottom, there will be a hint. For this one, the hint would look like this: Normal: R_ _ _ _ _ _ A B_ _ _ Swapped: B_ _ _ _ _ _ A R_ _ _ You will then have to figure out what the missing letters are by looking at the picture in order to complete the Spoonerism!
