My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body.Through the years I would guess at what I thought was the correct answer.
從前我母親經常問我,身體最重要的部位是什麼.許多年來,我一直以為自己所想的是正確答案.
When I was younger,I thought sound was very important to us as humans,so I said,"My ears,Mommy."
當我很小的時候,我認為對人類而言,聲音很重要,因此回答：“媽咪,是耳朵.”
She said,"No.Many people are deaf.But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon."
她說：“不對,有許多人是聾人.但是你繼續想,不久我會再問你.”
Several years passed before she asked me again.Since making my first attempt,I had contemplated the correct answer.So this time I told her,"Mommy,sight is very important to everybody,so it must be our eyes."

當她再度問我時,已經是好幾年後了.自從第一次回答之後,我就一直仔細的思考正確答案.所以這次我對她說：“媽咪,視覺對每個人都很重要,所以應該是我們的眼睛.”
She looked at me and told me,"You are learning fast,but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind."
她看著我,對我說：“你學的很快,但還是不對,因為有許多人是盲人.”
