Here are the rules:

1. You may only guess one letter at a time.

2. After you have guessed a letter, you must wait for another player to guess a letter before you can go again.

3. The host of the game responding to a guess does not count as a turn. Should you choose a letter, then receive a response from the member host, you must wait for the next member to guess a letter.

4. One point will be awarded for each correct letter, 2 points for vowels.

5. Only six misses are allowed in the game.

6. If you wish to guess the phrase, send it to me via Pet Talk personal email. [This is accessible via the 'PM' or 'Profile' buttons on any of my posts.]
DO NOT post it on the forum If you wish to guess a letter, post it on the forum.

7. You must have submitted a correct letter to submit your solution. Unlike letters, if you submit a wrong solution, you are disqualified from continuing in that puzzle.

8. The player who correctly guesses the phrase wins the game. If no one has guessed it correctly after six misses, then the player with the most points wins the game.

9. Only 5 guesses allowed in total until the host updates the puzzle. Any guess after 5, before the next update, won't be counted as a guess. And as always, someone else has to guess a letter before you can guess another letter.

And here is what you win...you get to create the next puzzle. (Should you win the game, and do not care to host the next puzzle, you may pass your puzzle play to the member with the next highest points)

Here is the puzzle:

-------- - ----- --- -- ---- -- - ----------- --
-- -------- -- --- ----- -- -- -- -- --- -----------.
~ ------- ------

I know someone wants to guess? I am going out of town tomorrow afternoon, so I was hoping this puzzle would go quickly. If its not done by early afternoon tomorrow (Thursday), it will have to hang in wait until I get back Sunday. :(

I am leaving to go out of town. I will be back Saturday evening. The puzzle will have to wait for updates until I get back.

I sent a guess

Piglet

So did I! :(
I was wondering if it would be considered cheating if you use a search engine to find the solution? The quotes are sometimes quite easy, but I never know who wrote them! When English is not your native language it's even harder to guess the writer.

Cincy'sMom guessed correctly. :)
I did not get your guess Piglet :(

The Puzzle was:
Teaching a child not to step on a caterpillar is
as valuable to the child as it is to the caterpillar.
