Little Lola

　　Now that we've done this, instead of L being a hard letter to pronounce,

　　it's the easiest one because the tongue is stuck in that position.

　　Pause the CD to practice the reading on your own,

　　again, with your tongue stuck to the top of your mouth.

　　Read the following paragraph after me with your tongue in the normal position.

　　Use good, strong intonation.

　　Follow my lead as I start dropping h's here.

　　Little Lola

　　felt left out in life.

　　She told herself

　　that luck controlled her

　　and she truly believed

　　that only by loyally following

　　an exalted leader

　　could she be delivered from her solitude.

　　Unfortunately, she learned a little late

　　that her life was her own to deal with.

　　When she realized it,

　　she was already eligible for Social Security

　　and she had lent her lifelong earnings

　　to a lowlife in Long Beach.
