　　Exercise 3-4:
　　Reading the Sound
　　The Tn Mn
　　A fashionably tan man
　　sat casually 7 at the bat stand,
　　lashing 9 a handful of practice bats.
　　The manager,
　　a crabby old bag of bones,
　　passed by and laughed,
　　"You're about average, Jack 10.
　　Can't you lash 8 faster than that"
　　Jack had had enough,
　　so he clambered to his feet
　　and lashed 11 bats faster
　　than any man had ever lashed bats.
　　As a matter of fact,
　　he lashed bats so fast
　　that he seemed to dance.
　　The manager was aghast.
　　"Jack, you're a master bat lasher 12!"
　　he gasped 13.
　　Satisfied at last,
　　Jack sat back
　　and never lashed another bat.
　　Pause the CD and read The Tn Mn aloud.
　　Turn it back on to continue.
　　Exercise 3-5:
　　Reading the Sound
　　A Lt of Lng, Ht Walks in the Garden
　　John was not sorry
　　when the boss called off the walks
　　in the garden.
　　Obviously, to him,
　　it was awfully 14 hot,
　　and the walks were far too long.
　　He had not thought
　　that walking
　　would have caught on
　　the way it did,
　　and he fought the policy
　　from the onset 15.
　　At first,
　　he thought he could talk it over
　　at the law office
　　and have it quashed,
　　but a small obstacle*
　　halted that thought.
　　The top lawyers always bought coffee
　　at the shop across the lawn
　　and they didn't want to stop
　　on John's account.
　　John's problem was not office politics,
　　but office policy.
　　He resolved the problem
　　by bombing the garden.
　　Pause the CD
　　and read A Lt of Lng, Ht Wlks in the Grden aloud.
