\nAnswers
\nLet\u2019s go for a little walk. Only you must tell me about things. I shall be so glad when today is over. The other bad days can\u2019t be half as bad as this. Having a leg tied up and hopping about on a crutch is almost fun, I guess. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll mind being deaf for a day – at least not much. But being blind is so frightening.<\/p>\n
