But she said, “Nevermind this hearing man, for he, himself, has no words for this Deaf person to see.”
“What, what? I have no words for him to see? I spoke, and he misunderstood.”
“And he signed, but you misunderstood.”
“Well,” said they, “I would send Deaf to his people.”
“His people?” said he.
And they said, “Sign language.”
