Lesson 22-2 By heart

　　One night, the gaoler decided to play a joke on his colleague to find out if, after so many performances, he had managed to learn the contents of the letter by heart. The curtain went up on the final act of the play and revealed the aristocrat sitting alone behind bars in his dark cell. Just then, the gaoler appeared with the precious letter in his bands. He entered the cell and presented the letter to the aristocrat. But the copy he gave him had not been written out in full as usual. It was simply a blank sheet of paper. The gaoler looked on eagerly, anxious to see if his fellow actor had at last learnt his lines. The noble stared at the blank sheet of paper for a few seconds. Then, squinting his eyes, he said: "The light is dim. Read the letter to me”. And he promptly handed the sheet of paper to the gaoler. Finding that he could not remember a word of the letter either, the gaoler replied: “The light is indeed dim, sire, I must get my glasses.” With this, he hurried off the stage. Much to the aristocrat's amusement, the gaoler returned a few moments later with a pair of glasses and the usual copy of the letter with he proceeded to read to the prisoner.

练习感悟：

今天的文章读得很顺，不过因为答应娃儿给他看手机，于是娃儿一直蹲我旁边等我读完，一会儿给我塞馒头，一会儿给我玩玩具，实在是严重干扰，最后不得不边吃馒头边朗读了。

今天的朗读没有带感情，回听的时候觉得太生硬了，尤其的是对话部分，多有趣呀，要带感情的模仿嘛，不然多无趣是吧~~
