She said, “No. Many people are deaf. Keep thinking about it and I will ask you again.”

Several years   (2)  , she asked me again. This time I told her, “Mommy, sight is very important to   (3)  , so it must be our   (4)  . ”

She   (5)   me and told me, “You are learning fast,   (6)   the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind.”
