Sentence Transformation

When teaching Music 9 last term, I wast telling students about my first assignment in the Intro to Electroacoustic Music class I took during my undergrad at Brandeis. Our assignment (while learning tape-style editing techniques) was to transform provided recording of a some speech into another phrase. Since some of the students seemed surprised by this assignment I thought I would post my version (I will admit, I could probably do a lot better job at this now, but I posted my original version of the assignment). I was asked to transform the following sentence: "One thing you can always be sure of is the stupefying anger of field mice." into: "Bee stings are no fun. You can always ice them. Sugar."
