"Lenny and the bad tooth"
.....................................................................................................................................................................

...I don’t want to hear another word! You are starting tomorrow, and make sure you follow exactly every piece of advice your teacher gives you!!” Said Mrs. Dolphin and went to her kitchen to make a seafood tart.

Lenny sadly swam towards the rusty ship where he usually played blind man’s buff with his friends, and said to himself sorrowfully:..............................................................

  ...The next day, when the lessons started, Lenny felt like he was being punished.

Orthophony lessons were no easy job.

“Every morning you will sip a raw egg and right away you will say loud and clear: rho-rho-rho the cats are running in a row, tee-tee-tee a bird sat on the tree. For some time until your speech has been corrected, these exercises will be your best friend!!” said Mrs. Do-re-mi, giving him a strict look over her long narrow greenish eyeglasses.

However, Lenny found the exercises boring and every morning he said: “oh-oh-oh I don’t like this at all, mi-mi-mi I’m irritated by Mrs. Do-re-mi” and strolled around the ocean, playing with his young, spotted friends.

    One day, while wandering about at the intersection of seashells’ street and blue seaweed street, he met his aunt Aglaiah. She was just coming back from Mrs. Swordfish’s hair salon, looking happy, with a weird hairstyle that looked like a cauliflower on her head!

Aunt Aglaiah loved weird hairstyles and had a different one done every week.

As soon as she saw him, she greeted him by clicking:

“My little Lenny, how are the lessons going?” She asked excitedly!

“It’s all a drama show aunt, a drama show!”

“Aha! So you are taking acting classes?”

“No, aunt, I mean it’s horrible! My teacher is very strict and I am just so bored.”.....
