It starts like this:

“Ounce pawn term, dear worsted ladle gull, hoe lift wetter murder  
inner cordage honor itch offer lodge dock florist.”

“Disk ladle gull whit off ton gore righting, an win sheeted,  
shawl wheeze warrior whittle bride writing cluck, widow  
rat hut. End fur disk raisin, pimple caulker ladle rat rotten hut.”

I simply MUST find the text in its entirety. Before the wolf eats her “groin murder!”

If you like “Ladle Rat Rotten Hut,” you’ll love

[“Giacche enne Binnestauche”](http://www.marinewatch.info/puzzle.html) (under the gray box with the flashing pink dots)

and

[“Di Tri Berrese”](http://www.shepline.com/bvtoday/volume6/bv6196.htm) (under “From Your Foreign Correspondent”).

These were both written by one Bob Belviso. I first came across them in either Willard Espy’s marvelous _Almanac of Words at Play_ or its sequel, _Another Almanac of Words at Play_ (I forget which; they’re both excellent). Sadly, they’re both out of print, but can be found at used bookstores or online.

The online versions have a few obvious typos, but you’ll get the gist.
