In her childhood, Mary always knew that she was different from other children. She doesn't like that job. Because she was born with cleft lip and palate, she had to endure the ridicule of adults.

Mary hates being "different". She thought that no one in her family would love her … until she joined Mrs. Leonard.

Mrs Leonard has a warm smile, a round face and brown hair. Everyone in her class likes her, but she loves her.

In the 1950 s, it was common for teachers to give their children an annual listening test. Unfortunately, apart from cleft lip and palate, Mary is almost deaf in one ear. Mary doesn't want other children to have another "difference" to attract others' attention and ridicule, so she cheats in the exam once a year.

In the "whisper test", a child will walk to the door of the classroom, lean sideways, close one ear, use one finger, and then repeat something that the teacher also whispers. She is in Mrs Leonard's class this year. As usual, Mary turned her bad ears to her teacher and pretended to hide her good ears.

She knows that the teacher often says, "The sky is blue." Or "What color are your shoes?" But this year is not the case. At this time, Mrs. Leonard whispered Mary's eternal life in seven words. When the "whisper test" came, Mary heard: "I hope you are my little girl."
