Hi.
2
Welcome to the Screen Actors Guild Foundation Storyline Online.
3
I'm Mindy Sterling and I get a great chance to share this wonderful book with you.
4
I just found it recently and fell in love with it.
5
It's called Library Lion, and it's written by Michelle Knudsen and illustrated by Kevin Hawks.
6
One day, a lion came to the library.
7
He walked right past the circulation desk and up into the stacks.
8
Mr. McBee ran down the hall to the head librarian's office.
9
Miss Merriweather, he called.
10
No running, said
11
Miss Merriweather without looking up.
12
But there's a lion, said Mr. McBee, in the library.
13
Is he breaking any rules, said Miss Merriweather.
14
She was very particular about rule breaking.
15
Well, no, said Mr. McBee.
16
Not really.
17
Hmm.
18
Then leave him be.
19
The lion wandered all around the library.
20
He sniffed the card catalog.
21
He rubbed his head against the new book collection.
22
Then he padded over to the story corner and went to sleep.
23
No one was sure what to do.
24
There weren't any rules about lions in the library.
25
Soon it was time for story hour.
26
There weren't any rules about lions at story hour either.
27
The story lady seemed a little nervous.
28
But she read out the first book's title in a good, clear voice.
29
The lion looked up.
30
The story lady kept reading.
31
The lion stayed for the next story.
32
And the story after that, he waited for another story but the children began to walk away.
33
Story hour is over, a little girl told him.
34
It's time to go.
35
The lion looked at the children.
36
He looked at the story lady.
37
He looked at the closed books.
38
And then he roared very loud.
39
Miss Merriweather came striding out of her office.
40
Who's making that noise, she demanded.
41
It's the lion, said Mr. McBee.
42
Miss Merriweather marched over to the lion.
43
If you cannot be quiet, you will have to leave, she said in a stern voice.
44
Those are the rules.
45
The lion kept roaring.
46
He sounded sad.
47
The little girl tugged on Miss Merriweather's dress.
48
If he promises to be quiet, can he come back for story hour tomorrow?
49
She asked.
50
The lion stopped roaring.
51
He looked at Miss Merriweather.
52
Miss Merriweather looked back.
53
Then she said, Yes, a nice quiet lion would certainly be allowed to come back for story hour tomorrow.
54
Hooray, said the children.
55
The next day the lion came back.
56
You are early, said Miss Merriweather.
57
Story hour is not until three o 'clock.
58
The lion did not budge.
59
Hmm, very well, said Miss Merriweather.
60
You might as well make yourself useful.
61
She sent him off to dust the encyclopedias until it was time for story hour.
62
The next day, the lion came early again.
63
This time, Miss Merriweather asked him to lick all the envelopes for the overdue notices.
64
Soon the lion began doing things without being asked.
65
He dusted the encyclopedias.
66
He licked the envelopes.
67
He let small children stand on his back to reach books on the highest shelves.
68
Then he curled up in the story corner to wait for story hour to begin.
69
At first, the people in the library were nervous about the lion, but soon they got used to having him around.
70
In fact, he seemed very well suited for the library.
71
His big feet were quiet on the library floor.
72
He made a comfy back rest for the children at story hour, and he never roared in the library anymore.
73
What a helpful lion, people said.
74
They patted his soft head as he walked by.
75
How did we ever get along without him?
76
Mr. McBee scowled when he heard that.
77
They had always gotten along fine before.
78
No lions were needed.
79
Lions, he thought, could not understand rules.
80
They did not belong in the library.
81
One day, after he dusted all the encyclopedias and licked all the envelopes and helped all the small children,
82
the lion padded down the hall to Miss Meriwether's office to see what else there was to do.
83
There was still some time left before story hour.
84
Hello, lion, said Miss Merriweather.
85
I know something you could do.
86
You can bring a book back into the stacks for me.
87
Let me just get it down from the shelf.
88
Miss Merriweather stepped up onto the step stool.
89
The book was just out of reach.
90
Miss Merriweather stood on her toes.
91
She stretched out her fingers.
92
Almost there, she said.
93
Then Miss Merriweather stretched a little too far.
94
Ouch, said Miss Merriweather softly.
95
She did not get up.
96
Mr. McBee, she called for a minute.
97
Mr. McBee.
98
But Mr. McBee was at the circulation desk.
99
He could not hear her calling.
100
Lion, said Miss Merriweather.
101
Please go get Mr. McBee.
102
The lion ran down the hall.
103
No running, Miss Merriweather called after him.
104
The lion put his big front paws up on the circulation desk and looked at Mr. McBee.
105
Go away, lion, said Mr. McBee.
106
I'm busy.
107
The lion whined.
108
He pointed his nose down the hall toward
109
Miss Merriweather's office.
110
Mr. McBee ignored him.
111
Finally, the lion did the only thing that he could think of doing.
112
He looked Mr. McBee right in the eye.
113
Then he opened his mouth very wide, and he roared the loudest roar he had ever roared in his life.
114
Mr. McBee gasped.
115
You're not being quiet, he said to the lion.
116
You're breaking the rules.
117
Mr. McBee walked down the hall as fast as he could.
118
The lion did not follow him.
119
He had broken the rules.
120
He knew what that meant.
121
He hung his head and walked toward the doors.
122
Mr. McBee did not notice.
123
Miss Merriweather, he called as he walked.
124
Miss Merriweather, the lion broke the rules.
125
The lion broke the rules.
126
He burst into Miss Merriweather's office.
127
She was not in her chair.
128
Miss Merriweather?
129
He asked.
130
Sometimes, said Miss Merriweather from the floor behind her desk, there is good reason to break the rules, even in the library.
131
Now, please, go call a doctor.
132
I think I've broken my arm.
133
Mr. McBee ran to call a doctor.
134
No running, said Miss Merriweather calling after him.
135
The next day, things were back to normal.
136
Almost.
137
Miss Merriweather's left arm was in a cast.
138
The doctor had told her not to work too hard.
139
I will have my lion to help me, Miss Merriweather thought.
140
But the lion did not come to the library that morning.
141
At three o 'clock, Miss Merriweather walked over to the story corner.
142
The story lady was just beginning a story for the children.
143
The lion was not there.
144
People in the library kept looking up from their books and computer screens, hoping they would see a familiar furry face.
145
But the lion did not come that day.
146
The lion did not come the next day either, or the day after that.
147
One evening, Mr. McBee stopped by Miss Merriweather's office on his way out.
148
Can I do anything for you before I go, Miss Merriweather?
149
He asked her.
150
No, thank you, said Miss Merriweather.
151
She was looking out the window.
152
Her voice was very quiet, even for the library.
153
Mr. McBee frowned as he walked away.
154
He thought there probably was something he could do for Miss Merriweather after all.
155
Mr. McBee left the library, but he did not go home.
156
He walked around the neighborhood.
157
He looked under cars.
158
He looked behind bushes.
159
He looked in backyards and trash cans and tree houses.
160
Finally, he circled all the way back to the library.
161
The lion was sitting outside, looking in through the glass doors.
162
Hello, lion, said Mr. McBee.
163
The lion did not turn around.
164
I thought you might like to know, said Mr. McBee, that there's a new rule at the library.
165
No roaring allowed, unless you have a very good reason.
166
Say, if you're trying to help a friend who's been hurt, for example.
167
The lion's ears twitched.
168
He turned around.
169
But Mr. McBee is already walking away.
170
The next day, Mr. McBee walked down the hall to Miss Merriweather's office.
171
What is it, Mr. McBee? asked
172
Miss Merriweather in her new, sad, quiet voice.
173
I thought you might like to know, said Mr. McBee, that there's a lion in the library.
174
Miss Merriweather jumped up from her chair and ran down the hall.
175
Mr. McBee smiled.
176
No running, he called after her.
177
Miss Merriweather didn't listen.
178
Sometimes there was a good reason to break the rules, even in the library.
179
Oh, I love this book.
180
And there are so many other books just like this
181
and other types of stories with other kinds of animals in the library.
182
And it's so easy to just go there and check out a book or read a book in the library.
183
And they even have people that will tell stories, so check that out.
184
Well, hopefully I'll see you in the library someday.
185
Thank you.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
