Then she put on a plain yellow dress cc-09 and a fleece jacket, picked up her kit and headed for work. cc-10 When she got there, there was a woman with a goose waiting for her. cc-11 The woman gave Sarah an official letter from the vet. cc-12 The letter implied that the animal could be suffering from a rare form cc-13 of foot and mouth disease, which was surprising, cc-14 because normally you would only expect to see it in a dog or a goat. cc-15 Sarah was sentimental, so this made her feel sorry for the beautiful bird. cc-16 Before long, that itchy goose began to strut around the office like a lunatic, cc-17 which made an unsanitary mess. cc-18 The goose's owner, Mary Harrison, kept calling, "Comma, Comma," cc-19 which Sarah thought was an odd choice for a name. cc-20 Comma was strong and huge, so it would take some force to trap her, cc-21 but Sarah had a different idea. cc-22 First she tried gently stroking the goose's lower back with her palm, cc-23 then singing a tune to her. Finally, she administered ether. cc-24 Her efforts were not futile. In no time, the goose began to tire, cc-25 so Sarah was able to hold onto Comma and give her a relaxing bath. cc-26 Once Sarah had managed to bathe the goose, she wiped her off with a cloth cc-27 and laid her on her right side. Then Sarah confirmed the vet's diagnosis. cc-28 Almost immediately, she remembered an effective treatment cc-29 that required her to measure out a lot of medicine. cc-30 Sarah warned that this course of treatment might be expensive - cc-31 either five or six times the cost of penicillin. cc-32 I can't imagine paying so much, but Mrs. Harrison - a millionaire lawyer - cc-33 thought it was a fair price for a cure. cc-34 Comma Gets a Cure and derivative works may be used freely for any purpose cc-35 without special permission provided the present sentence cc-36 and the following copyright notification accompany the passage in print, cc-37 if reproduced in print, and in audio format in the case of a sound recording: cc-38 Copyright 2000 Douglas N.

His Aunt Helen said to him, ar-05 "Now look here! No one is going to care for you if you carry on like this. ar-06 You have no more mind than a blade of grass." ar-07 One rainy day the rats heard a great noise in the loft. ar-08 The pine rafters were all rotten, so that the barn was rather unsafe. ar-09 At last the joists gave way and fell to the ground. ar-10 The walls shook, and all the rats' hair stood on end with fear and horror. ar-11 "This won't do," said the captain; "I'll send out scouts to search for a new home." ar-12 Within five hours the ten scouts came back and said, ar-13 "We found a stone house where there is room for us all. ar-14 There is a kindly horse named Nelly, a cow, a calf, and a garden with an elm tree." ar-15 The rats crawled out of their little houses and stood on the floor in a long line. ar-16 Just then the old rat saw Arthur. Stop. he ordered coarsely. ar-17 "You are coming, of course." "I'm not certain," said Arthur, undaunted, ar-18 "The roof may not come down yet." ar-19 "Well," said the old rat, "we can't wait for you to join us. Right about face! March!" ar-20 Arthur stood and watched them hurry away. ar-21 "I think I'll go tomorrow," he said calmly to himself, "but then again I don't know; ar-22 it's so nice and snug here,". That night there was a big crash. ar-23 In the foggy morning some men with some boys and girls rode up and looked at the barn. ar-24 One of them moved a board and saw a rat quite dead, half in and half out of his hole. http://www.voxforge.org/home/audacity/ar-recordings Sat, 01 Nov 2008 14:48:38 -0500 http://www.voxforge.org/home/audacity/voice-files2 The applet would not upload them. http://www.voxforge.org/home/audacity/voice-files2 Tue, 21 Oct 2008 17:21:12 -0500 http://www.voxforge.org/home/audacity/voice-files The applet would not upload these files. http://www.voxforge.org/home/audacity/voice-files Tue, 21 Oct 2008 17:19:40 -0500 http://www.voxforge.org/home/audacity/voce-files the applet wont uppload them http://www.voxforge.org/home/audacity/voce-files Tue, 21 Oct 2008 17:18:39 -0500 http://www.voxforge.org/home/audacity/locked-20080927 Link to the processed submission http://www.voxforge.org/home/audacity/locked-20080927 Sat, 27 Sep 2008 12:59:31 -0500
