Answer:
I thought about becoming a witch, so I tried it for a spell!'' is an example of a pun. Puns are humorous expressions that take advantage of the fact that many words sound alike but mean different things. A pun is often called a ''play on words.'' Here's another one: ''I went to a seafood disco last week... and pulled a mussel.'' The pun here is the use of the word ''mussel'' instead of the word ''muscle.'' They sound the same, but because a ''mussel'' is a type of seafood, it makes the statement funny.
Many authors use puns to add humor to their writing. Norton Juster used a large number of puns in his book The Phantom Tollbooth. Let's take a look at some of them.
