These happy days did not last long. One brief spring, musical with the song of robin and mocking-bird, one summer rich in fruit and roses, one autumn of gold and crimson sped by and left their gifts at the feet of an eager, delighted child. Then, in the dreary month of February, came the illness which closed my eyes and ears and plunged me into  the unconsciousness of a new-born baby. They called it acute congestion of the stomach and brain. The doctor thought I could not live. Early one morning, however, the fever left me as suddenly and misteriously as it had come. There was great rejoicing in the family that morning, but no one, not even the doctor, knew that I should never see or hear again.

然而这样幸福的日子并不长久。一个悦耳的带着知更鸟和模仿鸟（嘲鸫和欧鸲）歌声的短暂春天，一个充满水果和玫瑰的夏天，一个金色混着深红的秋天匆匆而过，将它们的馈赠留在了一个热切、快乐的孩子脚下。然后，在那可怕的二月，到来的是那场合上我的眼睛和耳朵、并使我进入一个新生儿的无意识状态之中的疾病。他们管这病叫做腹部和大脑严重阻塞，医生认为我活不下来。可是一个早晨，跟它无缘无故的到来一样，高烧突然神秘地退去，我们全家都惊喜至极。可是没有人想到我从此将永远失明失聪，连医生都没有想到。
