Lipogram

A lipogram is a piece of writing where a particular letter is omitted. In our task, we have been asked to change the letter ‘o’ in every word and replace it with a word without an ‘o’ .

Actual Text:
“Albert, is it true that if you touch a butterfly’s wings, you keep it from flying ever again? Basically, kill it?”
“No, it is a myth that you render a butterfly unable to fly by touching its wings. The powdery residue on their wings is actually scales. They shed their scales on a regular basis, so merely touching them is okay.

 

“Albert, is it true that if I felt a butterfly’s wings, I keep it trapped, never flying ever again? Basically, kill it?”

Negative, it is a myth that a human will halt its flight by feeling its wings. The light residue that lays with their wings is actually scales. They shed their scales regularly, merely patting them is fine.
