[Story]
On an isolated isle, a mute musician owned an ivory flute. He muttered to himself, “I owe this flute to my late father.” One day, he was prosecuted for owing something that belonged to the owner. The judge ruled that the musician had no ownership of the flute due to his deafness. The musician was shocked and couldnt speak.
