After the terrible car accident, the whole world had been completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years, for he became both blind and deaf after the doctor had saved him. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such a sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him. By and by he finally regained the courage to live on.
On a hot summer afternoon he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all of a sudden. He stood under a large tree in order not to get himself wet. Unfortunately he was struck down to the ground by a lightning. The witnesses thought him dead but he woke up some twenty minutes later, lying face down in muddy water below the tree. He felt that he was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he didn’t dare to believe that he saw a plough lying near the wall. When Mrs. Edwards came running up to him, she shouted to their neighbors for help. And he saw her and heard her voice for the first time in nearly 10 years.
The news of Robert’s regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread across his area, and many doctors came to prove the truth of the news. Most of them said that he gained sight and hearing again obviously from the knock of the lightning. However, none of them could give believable reasons. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Edwards lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock in a terrible accident, perhaps the only way for them to regain was by another sudden shock.
