Exercise 5-12:

Thirty Little Turtles In a Bottle of Bottled Water

Repeat the following paragraph, focusing on the consonant + l combinations.

Thrdee Liddl Terdl Zin Bddl Bddl Dwder

A bottle of bottled water held 30 little turtles.

It didn't matter that each turtle had to rattle a metal ladle

in order to get a little bit of noodles,

a total turtle delicacy.

The problem was that there were many turtle battles

for the less than oodles of noodles.

The littlest turtles always lost,

because every time they thought about grappling with the haggler turtles,

their little turtle minds boggled

and they only caught a little bit of noodles.
