Okay, now for the bonus round -- TRY HARDER THIS TIME! Here goes!!!
Bonus Question:
A mute man goes to the drugstore to buy a toothbrush. By imitating
the action of brushing his teeth, he successfully expresses himself to the
shopkeeper and the purchase is done.
Next in line is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses.
How should he express himself?
Answer:
Well -- Duh! He just has to open his mouth and ask. So simple!
This is a wonderful example of why we should always think before we speak/act.
Proverbs 10:14 The wise treasure up knowledge, But the mouth of a fool is near ruin.
Proverbs 17:28 Even a fool keeping silence is regarded as wise,
As understanding, when he closes his lips.
Psalm 34:11 Come, you children, listen to me; Let me teach you the fear of YHWH.
12Who is the man who desires life, Who loves many days, in order to see good?
13Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking deceit.
14Turn away from evil and do good; Seek peace, and pursue it.
15The eyes of YHWH are on the righteous, And His ears unto their cry
