Let us worry a bit, let us worry;
We can't lie everiastingly glad

voice made h windows rattle. He
looked surprised, but went on talking
to me and / kept answering him in a
oud voice that could be heard q block
away. He got madden and madden
but i never knew what was I'D until
finally he got red in the face and said:
Mr.. Black, sir, / am not deaf, sir. and
l resent YOU yelling at me as IL
couldn't hear n n fred In my
ear With that out he went. You see,
l had been talking to the deaf adv and
couldn't get my voice down again. You
try 1t sometime and see If you don't

don't, L miss my guess. Funny, too.
