I am going to tell you the story of Helen Keller, who could neither see nor hear from the time she was a baby. Yet the brilliant girl was able to overcome all those handicaps, and graduated from a college with honors and became a useful citizen.

As a baby, Helen grew bigger and stronger. She was able to walk when she was a year old; she could even say a few words.

But one day the child fell ill. For days she was laid up with a high fever and soon the parents learned that their darling might never be able to see and hear.

In Pairs – one is a journalist and the other a famous actor’s manager. Both of you have diaries and the journalist needs to try to schedule an interview that will take about 2 hours. 
The manager needs to be cagey about the actor’s free time. The journalist should try to make an appointment during the week and the manager should rebuff him/her with phrases such as: “You could come on Friday morning, but only for 15 minutes”, or “He might have time Monday at 3 pm, but only for an hour”. Finally, there should be a 2 hour slot in the diary and only when the journalist guesses it can the appointment be made.
