Question

My neighbor Jennifer is blind, but you’d never know it. She makes such good use of her other      , including her "sixth sense", that she hardly gives the impression that she has       anything. Jennifer looks after her children much like the rest of us,           that she doesn’t push too hard on them,       really benefit a lot from her relaxed attitude. She knows when to clean the house, and she moves around so fast that       often don't realize she's blind.

I          this the first time after my six-year-old daughter, Kayla, went to play there. When Kayla came home, she was very         about her day. She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was       excited about her finger-painting project.

“Mom, guess what?” said Kayla, all smiles. “I learned how to            colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! And Jennifer          with us”. To my great         , my child had learnt about color from a blind friend! Then Kayla continued, “Jennifer told me my          showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment(成就感). She really             what I was doing!” Kayla said she had never known how good finger paints felt             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          in conversation. When I told my daughter that Jennifer was blind, she was           for a moment. At first, she didn't believe me. “But Mommy, Jennifer knew exactly what was in my picture!” Kayla             . And I knew my child was           because Jennifer had listened to Kayla describe her art work. Jennifer had also heard Kayla's            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            .”

Indeed, she uses a special type of “vision” that all mothers have.
