Extract

The following transcription of ‘The North Wind and the Sun’ was made from a tape recording of the speech of Dr. Charlotte Laughlin (Mrs. Billy Lee), who teaches at Howard Payne University, Brownwood, Texas. Dr. Laughlin is 26 years old and was born in Brownwood, Brown County, at the approximate geographical center of the state. She lived in Brownwood until she was 18, when she moved to Austin to attend the University of Texas. At 24, she moved back to Brownwood and has remained there since, save for foreign trips.
