L16-2：Mary had a little lamb
After telling several of his friends about the theft, Dimitri found out that his neighbour, Aleko, had suddenly acquired a new lamb. Dimitri immediately went to Aleko's house and angrily accused him of stealing the lamb. He told him he had better return it or he would call the police. Aleko denied taking it and led Dimitri into his backyard. It was true that he had just bought a lamb, he explained, but his lamb was black. Ashamed of having acted so rashly, Dimitri apologised to Aleko for having accused him. While they were talking it began to rain and Dimitri stayed in Aleko's house until the rain stopped. When he went outside half an hour later, he was astonished to find the little black lamb was almost white. Its wool, which had been dyed black, had been washed clean by the rain!

练习感悟:1.一直挣扎在1.5h以上，才能看到稍微满意的效果。在读的过程中依然还是会有个别单词读错的情况，另外今日声音沙哑出现气发不出的情况，身体是革命的本钱。纵然如此，也还是要继续加油鸭鸭鸭！！！！
