“Mom, guess what?” said Kayla, all
smiles. “I learned how to 44 colors today! Blue and red make
purple, and yellow and blue make green! And Jennifer 45
with us”. To my great 46
, my child had learnt about color from a blind friend! Then Kayla
continued, “Jennifer told me my 47 showed joy, pride and a sense of
accomplishment(成就感). She really _48 what I was doing!” Kayla said she had
never known how good finger paints felt 49 Jennifer showed her how to paint
without looking at her paper.
I realized Kayla didn't know that
Jennifer was blind. It had just never 50 in conversation. When I told my
daughter that Jennifer was blind, she was 51
for a moment. At first, she didn't believe me. “But Mommy, Jennifer
knew exactly what was in my picture!” Kayla 52
. And I knew my child was
53 because Jennifer had listened to Kayla
describe her art work. Jennifer had also heard Kayla's 54 in her work.
We were silent for a minute. Then
Kayla said slowly, “You know, Mommy, Jennifer really did ‘see’ my picture. She
just used my 55 .”
Indeed, she uses a special type of
“vision” that all mothers have.
