　　The Throng¹ of Thermometers

　　I'm going to read the following paragraph once straight through, so you can hear that no matter how fast I read it,

　　all the THs are still there.

　　It is a distinctive² sound,

　　but, when you repeat it, don't put too much effort into it.

　　Listen to my reading.

　　The throng of thermometers from the Thuringian Thermometer Folks arrived on Thursday.

　　There were a thousand thirty-three thick thermometers, though, instead of a thousand thirty-six thin thermometers, which was three thermometers fewer than the thousand thirty-six we were expecting,

　　not to mention that they were thick ones rather than thin ones.

　　We thoroughly³ thought that we had ordered a thousand thirty-six, not a thousand thirty-three, thermometers, and asked the Thuringian Thermometer Folks to reship the thermometers;

　　thin, not thick.

　　They apologized for sending only a thousand thirty-three thermometers rather than a thousand thirty- six

　　and promised to replace the thick thermometers with thin thermometers.
