Pun Worksheet 3

This document contains two puns from literature. The first pun from an English proverb plays on the words "reigned" and "rained" to joke that England is wet due to many kings and queens ruling there. The second pun comes from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, where the dying Mercutio states that tomorrow his questioners will find him a "grave man", playing on the word "grave" to mean both somber and related to burial. The document then prompts the reader to identify the punny words and type of pun in each example.
