Some aphasics were watching the president giving a speech on TV.

　　Since the president had been an actor earlier, making a good speech was no problem for him. He was trying to put his feelings into every word of his speech.

　　But his way of speaking had the opposite effect on the patients. They didn’t seem to believe him. Instead, they burst into laughter. The aphasics knew that the president did not mean a word of what he was saying. He was lying!

　　Many doctors see aphasics as people who are not completely normal because they lack the ability to understand words. However, according to Dr. Sacks, they are more gifted than normal people.

　　Normal people may get carried away by words.

　　Aphasics seem to understand human expressions better, though they cannot understand words.
