Exerpt de The Deaf-Prince:
Un jour, quand Thomas était presque trois ans, lui et Christina a joué dans la cour du château. As Thomas ran to his mother he tripped over a piece of wood on the ground and hit his head on a rock. Queen Lilli ran to him. Thomas had a big bruise on the side of his head. He was knocked out for two days. Queen Lilli and Christina were with Thomas when he woke up.
“Comment êtes-vous?” his mother asked. Thomas looked at his mother.
“Thomas,” Christina said. Thomas did not look at Christina.
“Thomas!” Christina yelled. Thomas still did not look at Christina.
Lady Diana brought the doctor. A few minutes later the Doctor talked to the King, Reine, Christina, et de Lady Diana.
“Thomas ne peut pas entendre. Je ne peux pas le guérir,” dit le Docteur.
Everyone was sad. Queen Lilliana, Christina, et de Lady Diana pleurait.
Lorsque la Fairy Queen Rose visité Thomas elle dit au roi William, “Je voudrais pouvoir aider, mais la magie de fée ne peut pas guérir les blessures de ce genre.”
“Oui, Je sais, Reine Rose.”
Christina came to the King and Fairy Queen. She pulled on the King’s hand and said, “Thomas! Thomas!”
King William and Queen Rose followed Christina to Thomas’s bedroom. He lay on the floor, crying. King William hugged him and Thomas quit crying.
“Christina est son meilleur ami?” Reine Rose demandé.
“Oui,” King William dit.

Thomas is a young prince in a fairy tale kingdom who loses his hearing at a young age. Because he is deaf, he never learns to speak with his mouth. His friend Christina is the daughter of a duke and a fairy princess. Although Christina has no magical powers, she is the one who teaches Thomas ‘listen’ and ‘speak’.
