Three little sheep

 Three little sheep seated in a big ship


My main focus here is the /ɪ-i:/ contrast, the short /ɪ/ in ship, big, little, in and the long /i:/ in sheep, three. For some learners this is hard because there's no difference between them in your own language, but in English we need a difference between, for example, ship and sheep, lip and leap, bit and beat.
