3. I'm Trying to Stop It

Mr Hill was ill in bed and his wife was even busier than before. She had to do all the housework and go to town to buy some medicine for him.

Now the woman was washing all their clothes. She needed some water. The sick man found this and told Richard to carry some for her. He called the boy for a few times, but there was no answer. He had to get up and came in the sitting room. His son was watching a football match on TV and didn't see him.

“Richard!” the man called out. “I called you a moment ago, but why didn't you answer me?"

“Oh, I'm sorry I didn't hear you,” Richard turned to his father and said. But the line of sight didn't leave the television.

“What's wrong with your ear?" Mr Hill saw something and asked.

“Nothing, Daddy.”

“But why do you have cotton in the car, then?"

“You often say that everything you tell me goes in one ear and out of the other. So I'm trying to stop it,” was the reply.
