I still remembered this experience so well that I don't think it will ever be erased from my memory because of how everything was played clearly in my presence. I will never forget such a day and also, it was something I hold onto my left palm so I don't forget in case something similar happens in the future or perhaps I get to tell someone else until everyone knows it is a bad thing and very dangerous to do. Well, most of us here would have known and if not, this post might inform you then.
I was still in secondary school when it happened and though it was a funny one, still, we had to be cautious of ourselves next time. I was staying with my Dad's friend at that time because school was very close to his house and for Dad not to keep spending high transport fares every day, he had to let me stay at his friend's place from Monday to Friday and I spend the weekend at our own house. This has always been going on till I finished secondary school.
Opposite my dad's friend's house, there lived a couple, they were both deaf and dumb and they only use signs to communicate with them. The daughter of my dad's friend was the same age as mine and so, we were both friends who sometimes do weird things together in the house. Sometimes, we would both contribute money to prepare Noodles. As of then, it is the rich that eat Noodles (I am talking about 15 years ago) and we would always crave too. The money we are given to school would be saved for this purpose. Also, we were both partners in lying and doing bad stuff too.
Back to this couple. That was the first time I heard that those who are dumb and deaf and always beautiful and cute. I confirmed this when I got to remember someone telling me this too and with the few I have seen, I knew it was true. These ones are so beautiful and handsome. They had a little young child they gave birth to. This baby wasn't deaf and dumb like them but was a normal being. So, as she was growing up, she was the one who would interpret to her parents what people are saying to them.
If you notice, when two deaf and dumb people marry each other, they do not give birth to disable people like them but normal children.
But there is something they detest and could make them chase you till the end of the world.
They don't mind pursuing you for a long distance and they will make sure they catch you before turning back, and once they get hold of you, such a person will not remain the same again 😂😂
My friend who is the daughter of my dad's friend knew about this. She called me one day and told me to put a leaf or flower in my mouth and face the deaf husband. I couldn't understand why she said so. Poor me, if only I had known. I did as she said and place the leaf in my mouth and she pushed me to meet the guy.
The guy got so angry and I could see from his eyes how infuriated he was. He started talking with anger but we couldn't hear him. He was making sounds out of his mouth. To us, it was gibberish but to him, he knew what he was saying.
I was not part of the family and he knew me as someone who is gentle and also a stranger in the family. He knew it was my friend who pushed me to do that and knew what kind of girl she was.
Instead of facing me, he turned to her and started pursuing her. She kept screaming and telling people to beg him on her behalf. No one answered but were laughing. I stood there and joined in laughing too. This guy didn't stop pursuing this girl and when he got hold of her, she received the beating of her life and ever since then, she never tried such a thing.
After the whole scenario and when she had calmed down, she then explained that what I did, people like them do not like it and they could kill because of that.
Putting leaves in your mouth in their presence means you are indirectly insulting and mocking their condition.
Deaf and dumb people are always beautiful and handsome. Also, they are very friendly and nice but doing what they detest will make them hate you forever.
Thanks for your time on my blog.
