Garofi interrupted the teacher and asked if blind children could perceive things more easily than others.The teacher replied, "Well, they're going to learn how to perceive, and how to write, and they'll read books written just for them in raised letters, and they'll slide their fingers over them. Words, easy to make out and read. They can read quickly, and if they make a mistake, the poor little things will blush. They can also write, but instead of ink, they use a handful of metal The awl tattoos a piece of thick, stiff paper, which leaves many small holes in the hard paper. The words are written according to a special alphabet, and these small holes will be printed on the paper The other side of the paper sticks out, and if you turn the paper over and slide your hand over the protrusions, they can read what they've written, and of course what other people have written. That's how they write, They can also write letters to others, write numbers in the same way, and do arithmetic problems by themselves. Since his eyes are not distracted by the things around them, they can do quick mental calculations in their heads, just like our Likewise, it would be great if you could see how passionate they are about reading, how focused their expressions are, and how precisely they remember everything!
"There will be discussions between them, even the young blind people who love history and language so much that when they sit in groups of four or five behind a long table, they can talk to each other without turning their heads to face each other. Communication. The first one can talk to the third, and the second can also talk to the fourth, and their voices are so high that even if they all speak together, they will not miss a word. Their hearing is so Sharp and precise.

"And I can guarantee that they value the exam more than you, and respect the teacher more than you. They can tell their teacher by the footsteps of the teacher when he walks and the smell of his body, and they can even feel the teacher's mood. Whether it is good or bad, or whether the body is comfortable or not, you can know these things just from a word uttered by the teacher. When the teacher encourages or praises them, they hope that the teacher can touch themselves so that they can hold the teacher's hand Or an arm to express your gratitude.

"They both love each other deeply, are very friendly with everyone, and they always play together according to their preferences in people. For example, in girls' schools, they will play according to the different instruments they play. to make groups, the same instrument fans are in the same group, the violinists are in one group, the piano players are in another group, and the flute players are in another group, they will never be separated. When they form an intimate relationship with someone In the future, it will be difficult to break this relationship. They get a lot of comfort from the friendship of their partners. They are very correct in their evaluation of their own people. They also have a clear and deep understanding of right and wrong, good and evil. No one will be like them You get so enthusiastic about someone telling a story about an act of kindness.”

Wattini asked the teacher how they were doing on the instrument. "They have great enthusiasm for music," the teacher replied. "Music can make them happy, music is their life. For those children, when they first enter the school for the blind, they can stand Three hours of being there without moving and listening to other people play their instruments, they learn so quickly and their skills are so good. If a teacher tells a child that he has no musical talent, that child will be very sad. And I will work harder to learn music. If you can see them playing, you will see them raising their heads high, smiling on their lips, their faces are shining, and their bodies are trembling slightly with excitement , They are so fascinated to listen to the wonderful music that trembles with their hearts, those notes surround these children in a haze, at that time, you can feel how much music can bring to human beings. comforted.

"If a teacher told them that you could be an artist, they would shout with joy and have a big smile on their faces. If someone's music score is No.1, who can play the violin best, or who can play the piano Play the best, and for other children, that person will be like a king, they will love him and respect him. If two children quarrel, they will go to this person to solve it. If a friend breaks up, he will also mediate; the youngest students who are taught by the child to play the instrument will respect the child as they respect their own father. They will talk to him one by one before going to bed. Good night, they are always talking about music, even though it is late at night, they are exhausted from a day of study and work, even when they are already lying in bed, half asleep and half awake, they will still whisper Discussing music, like opera, teachers, instruments, orchestra, is what they discuss. If they are deprived of the right to read, or banned from music lessons, it is a severe punishment for them. , it would break their hearts so much that no one has ever dared to treat them with such a punishment. Music is to them what light is to us."

Dros asked if we could visit them. "Certainly," replied the teacher, "but you cannot go now, and you must visit them at a later date, when you have fully felt their misfortune, and your hearts have been filled with enough pity. , that would be a sad scene! Children, what you see may be a group of boys sitting by an open window, breathing in the fresh air, but their faces are expressionless, as if they are Staring at those vast green lawns, and those beautiful green distant mountains, just like you see, but when you think about it, they can't see anything, and they will never see those distant mountains again. When you see the scene, your heart will be suppressed, and at that moment it will be as if your own eyes can no longer see.

"Of course, some children are blind from birth. They have never seen the world, and they won't have any complaints, because they have never had any concept of the images of the world, so they There will be a lot less self-pity in the heart. But there are also children who have only been blind for a few months, and they can recall everything they have seen before, and they are very aware of what they have lost They feel their minds growing darker and more sentimental as they feel their minds grow darker and darker with the remembrances lingering in their memory. The dearest images grow darker in their minds day by day, and what they The image of the loved one will also gradually disappear from their memory. A boy once said to me that his grief was beyond words. He said: "I hope my eyesight can be restored, even if Just for a little while, so I can see my mother's face again, because I can't remember it!" When the boys' mothers came to see them, they put their hands on their mother's face They feel the contours of their mother's face from her forehead to her chin, and even her ears. They can hardly forgive the fact that they cannot see their mother. They always call their mother's name and beg her to let her Seeing my mother's face, even if only once, how many times like this, even the most hard-hearted person will cry.

"When you're walking down the street and you can see people and houses and the sky, that's not such a privilege for you, oh I'm sure none of you are in that situation would willingly give a part of her sight, that a ray of light might shine again in the eyes of those poor children, for whom the sun is dark and the mother's face is dim." This is the most sorry thing.
