Here is one section of the first novel without zhuyin that Charlotte read at 10 and half.  I was ecstatic when she told me that she enjoyed reading a novel on her Kindle.  I put it in Kindle two years prior, hoping that she would one day be able to read it.  Our hard work over the past 10 years finally payed off!

“普通崖羊都是灰褐色的。高黎貢山的崖羊體毛卻深褐泛紅，到了冬天，毛色鮮紅亮麗，在鋪滿白雪的山上奔跑跳躍，宛如一團團燃燒的火焰。紅崖羊性情溫和，毛色奇特，是世界上獨一無二的品種，因此，極其珍貴。遺憾的是，紅崖羊的數量太少，只有孤零零一小群，生活在狹窄的納壺河谷。當地山民也知道紅崖羊是世界級的珍稀動物，從不傷害它們。母羊一年生兩胎，每胎產兩三頭小羊羔，繁殖力在牛科動物中算是高的。但不知為什麼，紅崖羊的數量就是發展不起來。據我請來的嚮導——藏族獵手強巴告訴我，他爺爺年輕時曾仔細數過，這群紅崖羊有66只，前幾天我在動物觀察站用望遠鏡數了一遍，不多不少，也是66只。
