There's a rule for the pronunciation of the word "the." If it's followed by a word whose first letter is a vowel, sticklers say it should be pronounced like "/thee/," as in, the end. If followed by a consonant, it rhymes with "duh," as in "the dog". That's thuh long and thuh short of it. This is part of a complete episode.
