Story 8. Two Sons.
Our teacher, Mr. White, has two sons.
Both of them are deaf.
They can't speak, either.
When the first boy was born, they found that he could not hear sounds.
In great shock, Mr. White and his wife went to many different hospitals to seek treatment.
After three years, their son still could not hear sounds.
They accepted the fact that their son would never hear anything.
His world would be silent.
A few years later, their second son was born.
Like their first child, this son was deaf, too.
After talking to experts, they learned that the reason why their children were born deaf was defective genes.
Even so, Mr. White loves his sons very much.
Every day he sends them to a special school.
The two boys are very smart.
Mr. White uses sign language to talk to his sons.
He taught us some sign language, too.
