The Library

​The Library
 
Miss Shaw works at the library. She knows all about books. She knows all about children, too. Miss Shaw has worked at the library a long time. She often tells the children that soon she will have her pension and will rest ‘with their permission.’ Even though they do not understand all Miss Shaw says, the children all love her.
 
Miss Shaw also knows just what books boys and girls like to read. One day Sharon and Josh came into the library.
 
“Hello, Miss Shaw,” they said. “We want to read just for fun.”
 
“Now then,” Miss Shaw said, “Do you want to read about fish, the ocean, machines, ships, nations, some dishes, some slush, the shore, a window shade, some sugar, a shirt, some squash, hash, a good wish - oh, my! I can even find you a book about a girl named Tish.”
 
“Thank you,” said Sharon. “I think I would like a book about fish.” Miss Shaw went to the bookshelf and gave Sharon a book. The name of the book was “Patricia, The Shiny Fish.”
 
“Now then, Josh,” said Miss Shaw, “What kind of book would you like?” “I would like a book about a ship.”
 
Sharon and Josh went home and when they had finished their books, they took them back to the library. “Well,” said Miss Shaw. “Did you finish your books and what were they all about?”
 
“I finished my book,” said Sharon. “It was fun to read. It was about a shiny fish and her name was Patricia. And it was about other fish, and the ocean, and how Patricia swished when she swam, and how salt comes from the ocean to be put in salt shakers for humans.”
 
“My book,” said Josh, “was about a ship named Bashful, and pirates and ocean blue and their mission was to collect all the sea shells and let the nations see how beautiful they were.”
 
“Good,” said Miss Shaw. “I hope you will come back soon.”
 
Both Sharon and Josh promised they would.

“The Library” story above can be read aloud for practicing and gaining familiarity with the spoken English ‘sh’ sound, which may be helpful for children and adults, professional speakers, and persons with speech impediments.
