repaired hearing-aids.One day an old gentleman entered
and put one downin front of him without saying a word.
"What's the matter with it?"Mr Richard said.The man
did not answer.Of course,Mr Richard though that the man
must be deaf and that his hearing-aid must be fautly.So
he said again.more loudly,"What's wrong with your hearing-
aid,sir?"Again the man said nothing,so Mr Richard shouted
his question again as loudly as he could.
The man then took a pen and a piece of paper and wrote:
"It isn't necessary to shout when you're speaking to me.

is not that I can't hear,but that I can't speak."
