Discussing a News Story
Helen: Did you hear about that guy who was
struck by lightning?
Mavis: You mean that man up in
Maine?
Helen: That’s the one; the blind guy who
could see again.
Mavis: I read about him in the paper this
week. He’d been blind for about eight or nine years.
Helen: Uh huh.
Wasn’t he also able to hear again after the lightning hit him?
Mavis: Right.
He didn’t have to wear a hearing aid anymore.
Helen: I think it was a miracle!
Mavis: Me too! |
