   Mrs Leonard was round and pretty, with shining brown hair and warm, dark,   7   eyes. Everyone adored (敬重) her. But   8   came to love her more than I did. And for a   9   reason.

   The time came for the   10   tests given at our school. I could only just hear out of one ear, and was not   11  to reveal something else that would single   12   out as different. So I cheated.

   The “whisper test”   13   each child to go to the classroom door, turn sideways, close one ear with a finger,   14   the teacher whispered something from her desk,   15   the child repeated. Then the same for the other ear. Nobody checked how tightly the   16   ear was covered, so I only pretended to block mine.

   As  17   I was the last. But all through the testing I   18   what Mrs Leonard might say to me. I knew from previous years that the teacher   19   things like “The sky is blue.” Or “Do you have new shoes?”

   My   20   came. I turned my bad ear toward her,   21   the other just enough to be able to hear. I waited and then came the words that God had surely put into her mouth,   22   words that changed my life   23   .

   Mrs Leonard, the teacher I   24   , said softly, “I   25   you were my little girl.”

“Can I see my baby？” the happy new mother asked. When the bundle was in her arms and she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped. The doctor turned quickly and looked out of the tall hospital window. The baby had been born without ears.

Time proved that the baby’ s hearing was perfect. It was only his appearance that was imperfect. When he rushed home from school one day and threw himself into his mother’s arms, she sighed(叹息), knowing that his life was to be misfortunate. He cried to his mum “A boy, a big boy... called me a freak (怪人)．”

He grew up, handsome. A favorite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for that. He developed a gift, a talent for literature and music. “But you might communicate with other young people，” his mother blamed him, but felt a kindness in her heart.

Two years went by. One day, his father said to the son, “You’ re going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But it’ s a secret.” The operation was a great success, and a new person appeared.

Later he married and became a lawyer. One day, he asked his father, “Who gave me the ears? Who gave me so much? I could never do enough for him or her.” “I do not believe you could，” said the father, “but the agreement was that you are not to know... not yet.”

The years kept their secret, but the day did come. He stood with his father over his mother’ s casket棺材. Slowly, tenderly, the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick, reddish brown hair to show the mother had no outer ears.

“Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut，” his father whispered gently, “and nobody ever thought Mother less beautiful, did they？”
