Its easy to find the oneeared person!” Her answer also made the policeman angry. Turning to the third lady, he asked, “This is your suspect, and how would you recognize him?” He added quickly, “Think hard before giving a stupid answer.” The third lady looked at the picture carefully for a moment and said, “Hmm.the suspect is wearing contact lenses (隐形眼镜).” The policeman was surprised and speechless, because he really didnt know himself if the suspect wore contacts or not. “Well, that is a good answer. Wait here for a few minutes while I check his file.” He left the room and went to his office, checked the suspects file in his puter and returned with a beaming smile. “Wow!

When you give someone a hug or someone es up and gives you a hug, this simple act of a hug can “speak” volumes about how much you care for the other person, how much love you want to share with the other person, how much you have missed the other person. This hug has so much to say, and yet there never has to be any words spoken.And, who needs to say the words “yes” or “no” when a movement of the head says the same thing.
