2022/12/04

The Lion and the Rabbit A cruel lion lived in the forest. Every day, he killed and ate a lot of animals. The other animals were afraid the lion would kill them all. The animals told the lion, "Let's make a deal. If you promise to eat only one animal each day, then one of us will come to you every day. Then you don't have to hunt and kill us." The plan sounded well thought-out to the lion, so he agreed, but he also said, "If you don't come every day, I promise to kill all of you the next day!" Each

The Focus of This Lesson Is Intonation.

"This is a clean floor." If the speaker says this sentence with a downward intonation on "floor," the
