habits} {of birds,} bands them {with a metal strip}

inscribed: "Notify Fish & Wild Life Service, {*in* Washington, 

D.C.}"The bands used to read, "Washington Biological

Survey," abbreviated {to "Wash. Biol. Surv."} The inscription 

was changed {to the present one} shortly after a farmer shot

a crow and disgustedly wrote the U.S. government:

"Dear Sirs: I shot one {of your pet crows} the other day 

and followed the instructions attached {to it} and surved it.

It was turrible.^#1 You should stop trying to fool the people 

{with things} {like that."}
 

1. If you consider "turrible" an adjective, you are right, but I have not counted it here because its function will be explained (in the next level) in relation to S/V/C patterns.
