Like all sisters, this one likes to jump, tumble and climb on monkey bars. She plays the piano, though she can't sing or hear any tune. She feels the cat purring in her lap, but can't hear the telephone ring or the door bang. Still, she can say more with her face and shoulders than most people can with words. This is a very special sister.
