Here's a silly tongue-twister again.

A hellish monster was in the church in St Hilary. Monsters are enemies of churches. There was a swan, an angry bird, there too. Swans are enemies of monsters. Angel Elizabeth, a member of the angels of the firmament, and Ephraim, Bishop of Exeter, went to St Hilary as well, to cast the hellish monster out of the church and to exile it in Hell again. Then the angel went back to the sky, the bishop went away to Exeter Cathedral and the swan went to Veryan.
