Thank you, Katharina! Could you also list a few keywords which describe this story for us (in German or English)? For the future, the title in the filename should be written as one word, without underscores.

:lol: now that was a funny text, but I already read some other stories by Twain and I know his sense of humour. You've narrated it wonderfully, Katharina. :thumbs:

There are a few stumbles inside your recording, which could still be cut out. This is very easy in Audacity, simply enlarge the waves very big with the magnifying glass. Then you can accurately cut the bit that is double. (There is no need to re-record, because that would be too much trouble both for the reader and for the PLer and chances are high there may be other errors in the new recording. We highly encourage editing over re-recording ;) )

So here is what needs doing:

> at 3:20: (p. 18) stumble and repeat: "und begegnete unter – unterwegs"
> at 4:42: (p. 19) stumble and repeat: "mit viel Geschick zu ha – behandeln"
> at 5:56: (p. 20) "und trieb mir schliesslich die Erkältung aus dem Kopf in die Lunge" – I think you say "trieb mich"
> at 7:07: (p. 20) "dort machten wir den Tag über Segelfahrten" – I think the first word got cut out by mistake, there's a sort of jump in the audio

Thank you for this funny addition to our collection 8-)

We are approaching the end already, only one section left to claim :shock:

Michael, have you contacted Nate already per PM, to maybe ask for his small edit ?

It's a funny story where the author describes treatments he tried to cure his cold. I'll remember to leave out the the underscores in future, thanks for letting me know. I'm new to this and learning,

The PL pointed out some parts that needed editing so I uploaded an edited version and fixed the filename while I was at it. The link is https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/msw028_wieeinschnupfenkuriertwird_twain_kel_128kb.mp3.

Thanks, Katharina! I've entered it into the Magic Window for Sonia to check.

Keywords are meant to help people find the recording through a search engine. So, for this one I've picked: Humor, Feuilleton, Amerikanische Literatur, How to Cure a Cold. Let me know if you want to add any others.

Another bookkeeping note the future: we ask readers to tell us the duration of their recording (mm:ss) for every upload.

Cheers,
Michael

Okay. I'll start to work up the catalog page material while the last couple sections get PL'd/fixed.
