The boy grew up. He developed a gift, a talent for literature(文学) and music.

The boy’s father had a meeting with the family doctor. “Could anything be done?” he asked the doctor.

“I believe I could graft (移植) a pair of outer ears, if you could get them,” the doctor said.

However, two years went by, but nobody wanted to offer the young man ears. Then one day the father said, “Son, someone will donate his ears to you. But it’s a secret.” The operation (手术) was a great success.

Time kept the secret, but the day did come… The young man stood with his father beside his mother’s body. Slowly, the father held out a hand and raised the thick, brown hair. To his surprise, the son found his mother had no outer ears.
