Estratto da The Deaf Principe:
Un giorno, quando Tommaso è stato quasi tre anni, lui e Christina giocato nel cortile del castello. Mentre Thomas correva da sua madre, inciampò in un pezzo di legno a terra e colpì la testa su una roccia. La regina Lilli corse da lui. 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.
“Come va?” 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, Regina, Christina, e Lady Diana.
“Thomas non riesce a sentire. Non posso curare,” disse il dottore.
Everyone was sad. Queen Lilliana, Christina, e Lady Diana pianto.
Quando la Regina delle Fate Rosa visitato Thomas, ha detto il re Guglielmo, “Vorrei poter aiutare, ma fata magia non può guarire le lesioni di questo tipo.”
“Sì, So, Regina 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 è il suo migliore amico?” Regina Rose ha chiesto.
“Sì,” Re Guglielmo detto.
“Bene! I give her the power to talk with Thomas.”
“He can’t hear. How will she talk to him?” King William asked.
“She will. That is all I can tell you,” Regina ha detto Rose.
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’.
