31
But we always ride the Ferris wheel together, Frank whispered.
32
Everyone was upset.
33
And now Frank wasn't so happy either.
34
Frank clipped his toenails and alphabetized his bug collection.

42
earnest frank thought the hat looked like a flower store on
43
mrs. peacock's head well grandpa said there are an awful lot of flowers up there
44
but my favorite is the purple one in the middle.
45
Thank you, Mrs. Peacock beamed.
46
Toodaloo.
47
Frank couldn't believe his ears.
48
Grandpa, you lied.
49
No, Frank, I told the truth.
50
I really do like the purple flower best.
51
I talked about the good things on her hat instead of the not so good things.
52
Grandpa's best friend, Mr. Pickles, pulled up in his truck.
53
Try this relish, he called, handing Grandpa a jar and a spoon.
54
I've got a cold and can't taste a thing.
55
Grandpa scooped a spoonful of relish into his mouth.
56
His nose twitched, his eyes watered, his hair stood on end.
57
Give it to me straight, Ernest, said Mr. Pickles.
58
I can't sell it if it's no good.
59
Grandpa wiped his eyes.
60
More sugar, less pepper.
61
Mr. Pickles grinned and shook Grandpa's hand.
62
Back to the drawing board.
63
Thanks for your help.
64
Grandpa, he didn't get mad at you.
65
That's right.
66
Grandpa drank some water.
67
He asked me for the truth, and I gave it to him.
68
Frank sighed.
69
So, I shouldn't give the truth unless someone asks for it?
70
You should always give people the truth, Grandpa said.
71
You just have to find the right way to serve it the next afternoon at the school carnival
72
when mrs. Aroma laughed like a horse
73
Frank said you tell great jokes
74
when mr wiggins did a weird dance frank said impressive spins sir
75
when frank saw dotty he said i like dots better than squares
76
and when carol sang frank said you sure can hit those high notes carol smiled at frank dotty
77
and i are going to ride the ferris wheel want to come On the way home, Frank gave his mom a poem he wrote for her.
78
Mom, your hair looks nice today.
79
I only see a little gray.
80
And when she smiled, Frank decided not to mention the wrinkles around the corners of her mouth.
81
The next day, while Frank helped Grandpa in his garden, Mrs. Peacock stopped by again.
82
You were right, she said to Grandpa.
83
That other hat had too many flowers.
84
Just then, Mr. Pickles arrived with a new jar of relish for Grandpa to try.
85
Excuse me a moment, Grandpa said to Mrs. Peacock.
86
So what do you think of my hat?
87
Mrs. Peacock asked, but this time she wasn't asking Grandpa.
88
She was asking Frank.
89
Frank looked at Grandpa on the porch with Mr. Pickles.
90
Grandpa was taking another spoonful of relish, and he wasn't drinking any water.
91
Frank knew just what to say.
92
I've never seen a hat like that before.
93
It must be one of a kind.
94
Thank you, Mrs. Peacock beamed.
95
Toodaloo.
96
So how is it being frank today, Grandpa asked.
97
Well, Grandpa, I still think honesty is the best policy, said Frank.
98
But now I know it's best served with more sugar and less pepper.
99
the end i uh i was given this book to read
100
and i read it and i loved it i love the message in it
101
because i bob odenkirk have often prided myself on being honest
102
and frank when in truth you can be a little rude
103
or you could hurt people's feelings so you have to decide how and the way you're going to be honest.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
