 The Lion was so
tickled at the
idea of the
Mouse being
able to help him,
that he lifted up
his paw and let
him go.

Example
"Once when a Lion was asleep a little Mouse began running up and down upon him; this soon wakened
the Lion, who placed his huge paw upon him, and opened his big jaws to swallow him. "Pardon, O
King," cried the little Mouse: "forgive me this time, I shall never forget it: who knows but what I may be
able to do you a turn some of these days?"

 How I found out I was deaf
I found out I was different when I was about 8 years old. The time passed, the games
disappeared and the conversations are more and longer. Inside of house as well, we
were four, my mother, my father and my brothers. When we were having lunch the
phone always rang and my older brother was the first person who answered it. Then we
inform us.
-Mom. Why do my brothers have to answer the phone? I am old enough, I can do it.
-Because you can’t, you are deaf
-Am I deaf? I can answer the phone anyway
-No. You can’t
And that when I realizes what it really means being deaf
