3. A LONG DANCE

A young man was a stranger in the town, and had been
brought to a dance at a local Deaf and Dumb Hospital by his old
friend, a doctor.
«How can I ask a deaf and dumb girl to dance?» he asked a
little anxiously.
«Just smile and bow to her,» answered the doctor, who had
done it many times.
So, the young man picked out a beautiful girl, bowed and
smiled, and away they danced. They danced not only one dance
that evening, but even three, and he was going to ask her for
another when a stranger came up to the girl and said, «When are
we going to have another dance? It's almost an hour since I had
one with you.»
«I know, dear,» answered the girl, «but I don't know how to get
away from this deaf and dumb young man.»
