ESL 25:
It is called a substitution code. Each letter of the alphabet has been replaced with a picture of an animal. For example, maybe all the "a's" have been replaced by the picture of a dog, and all the "b's" have been replaced by the picture of a horse, and so on. You have to figure out the correct letter for each picture, and then you will be able to read the story. 1. There are no punctuation marks in the code. Each group of pictures is a sentence. There is a space between sentences. 2. Capital letters do not use the same pictures as small letters. For example, a small "a" may be represented by a fish, but a capital "A" might be a cat. 3. Hint: The most frequent letter in English is "e". 4. BIG Hint: Most English fairy tales begin with the same four words. If you can find out what those first four words are, you will have an easy start to solve the puzzle and read this fairy tale. 5. Print this page on your printer, and have fun!
