Reading Power Point-of-View Text

Okay, welcome to the POV, that's point of view, lesson for “The Power of Reading."

Okay, and I'm going to tell the same story about Filbert the monkey. We're going to

have tow points of view. One is going to start with "Since 2002..." and the other one will

be in the future. So let's start with the first one. You ready? You feel good? You

smiling? Standing tall, shoulders back! Deep breath, let's do it.

* * ** *

Since 2002, since the year 2002, Filbert has enjoyed shooting mosquitoes with his

gun. He has liked to shoot mosquitoes with his gun, since 2002.

In 2001 did Filbert enjoy shooting mosquitoes?

No, no he didn't. Not in 2001. In 2001 and before he never shot mosquitoes, but since

2002 he has liked to shoot mosquitoes with his gun. He has loved it, in fact. Since

2002 Filbert the monkey has loved to shoot mosquitoes with his gun. From 2002 right

up until almost now, during that whole time. So since 2002 he has enjoyed shooting

mosquitoes.

And since 2002 he has practiced every day. In fact, in the morning, in the

afternoon, in the evening and at night, he has practiced shooting mosquitoes

every day since 2002. Since 2003 he has had total competence with his rifle, with

his big long gun.

Since when?

Since 2003 he has had total competence. He has had total competence with his rifle.

Since 2003 he has had what?

Since 2003 he has had total competence with his rifle.

Now of course, shooting mosquitoes is a very demanding, tough thing to do. It's

very difficult. So he has practiced constantly shooting mosquitoes with his rifle.

Now Filbert the monkey has also been a very well read monkey for many years.

For many years he has read philosophy books, every day reading about

philosophy and shooting his gun at the same time, pow, pow, pow, read, pow,

pow, pow, read. He has been a very well read monkey. Probably since 2001,

since 2001 he has been a very well read monkey. Something happened recently.
