Akpos' next door neighbour
had a baby.
Unfortunately, the little
baby was born with no ears.
When they arrived home from the hospital, the parents invited Akpos' family
to come over and see their
new baby.
Akpos' parents were very
afraid their son would have a silly words to
say about the baby. So, Akpos' dad had a long talk with Akpos
before going to the
neighbors house. He said, "Now, son, that poor
baby was born
without any ears. I want you to be on your best
behaviour and not say one word about his ears, or
I'm really going to beat you when we
get back home."
"I promise not to mention his ears
at all," said Akpos. At the neighbour's house, Akpos
leaned over the crib and touched the baby's
hand. He looked at
his mother and said,
"Oh, what a beautiful little baby!"
The mother, who had braced herself for Akpos'
comment, was pleasantly surprised and said, "Thank you
very
much, Akpos."
Akpos then continued, "This baby has perfect little
hands and
perfect little feet. Why, just look at his pretty little
eyes! Did
his doctor say he can see clearly?" The mother who was
a bit surprised,
replied;
"Why, yes ... his doctor said he has a good vision,
why do you
ask?"
Akpos said, "Well, it's a good thing, cause i'm very sure
he can't wear
glasses.
