THE MOON SHELL
extrait
Once upon a time, in an island of the Tuamotu, there was a little girl
named Atanua. Her long brown wavy hair was cut nice and straight above her
shoulders. Her delicate ears, pierced as a newborn, were adorned by golden
pearls.
She had heard of a Moon Shell which, in the old days, was found in a
village. It had since disappeared. Story tells it looked like no other shell
found in this world. The ocean can be heard in most shells, when brought close
to one’s ear. This particular shell had a different noise. In this shell, one
could hear the sound of life. To the one who had lost his hearing, it gave it
back.
In the island of Atanua, half of the population
is deaf. These persons had never heard the sound of the ocean nor the one of
the wind. They did not know of the bird songs, nor the cries of a baby. They
had never heard the voice of a mom saying ‘I love you”. Story tells that the
disappearance of the Moon Shell lead to people losing their gift of hearing.
Only the ones who had kept a pure nostalgia for the moon shell in their hearts
weren’t affected.
