[00:10]Real beauty [00:11]When a first-time father cuddled his newborn son, [00:15]he immediately noticed the baby’s ears conspicuously standing out from his head. [00:20]He expressed his concern to the nurse that some children might taunt his child, [00:25]calling him names like “Dumbo”. [00:27]A doctor examined the baby and reassured the new dad that his son was healthy—the ears presented only a minor cosmetic problem. [00:37]But the nervous father persisted. [00:39]He wondered if the child might suffer psychological effects of ridicule, [00:44]or if they should consider plastic surgery. [00:47]The nurse assured him that it was really no problem, [00:51]and he should just wait to see if the boy grows into his ears. [00:54]The father finally felt more optimistic about his child, [00:59]but now he worried about his wife’s reaction to those large, protruding ears. [01:04]She had delivered by cesarean section, and had not yet seen the child. [01:09]“She doesn’t take things as easily as I do,” he said to the nurse. [01:13]By this time, the new mother was settled in the recovery room and ready to meet her new baby. [01:19]The nurse went along with the dad to lend some support [01:22]in case this inexperienced mother became upset about her baby’s large ears. [01:29]The infant was swaddled in a receiving blanket with his head covered for the short trip through the chilly air-conditioned corridor. [01:37]The baby was placed in his mother’s arms, who eased the blanket back so that she could gaze upon her child for the first time. [01:46]She took one look at her baby’s face and looked to her husband and gasped, [01:50]“Oh, Honey! Look! He has your ears!” [01:54]No problem with Mom. She married those ears... [01:57]and she loves the man to whom they are attached. [02:01]The poet Khalil Gibran said, “Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.” [02:07]It’s hard to see the ears when you’re looking into the light.
