OK.
Now we come to the interactive portion of the reading.
This is where we cooperate on a short talk.
So I do a part and you do a part and it comes together
like that.
So I have to teach you your part.
[LAUGHTER]
In this first one your part is very easy.
It's simply the word, "deciduous"
with a question mark after it so like this, deciduous?
[LAUGHTER]
OK?
So I'll count to three and you practice.
One, two, three.
Deciduous?
Excellent.
[LAUGHTER]
OK, remember your line.
[LAUGHTER]
"Short talk on reading."
"Some fathers hate to read but love
to take the family on trips.
Some children hate trips but love to read.
Funny how often these find themselves passengers
in the same automobile.
[LAUGHTER]
I glimpsed the stupendous clear-cut shoulders
of the Rockies from between paragraphs of Madame Bovary.
Cloud shadows roved languidly across her huge rock
throat, traced her fir flanks.
And since those days I do not look at hair on female flesh
without thinking,
Deciduous?
[LAUGHTER]
See how that works."
[APPLAUSE]
