Fed someone's bread

0Hi !02br
02br
00Could you please, tell me what's the meaning of the following sentence (it's a tongue twister)? I know the meaning of each word , but I can't understand them into it:02br
02br
00"Fred fed Ted bread, and Ted fed Fred bread. And by the way shouldn't it be : ... 01b01u00Ted's02u02b00 bread and 01b01u00Fred's02u02b00 bread? (if not, why ? Because it's a genitive case, isn't it?).02br
02br
00Best regards,02br
