Mr. White and Mr. Black often talk together. They talk about all kinds of things. Sometimes they are worried about their hearing. But one thinks the other is much deafer.
One day Mr. Black comes to see Mr. White. Mr. White is sitting on a chair, He is having a rest. Mr. Black stops at the door and asks, “Can you hear me?” There is no answer. Mr. Black goes nearer and asks again, “Can you hear me?” Again he doesn’t hear any answer. Mr. Black is quite pleased. Still he goes nearer and asks for the third time, “Can you hear me?” Still there is no answer. At last Mr. Black goes up to Mr. White and calls, “Now I know you are much deafer than me.
