Hearing versus Listening

Several years ago in Gresham, Oregon a mall was constructed called Gresham
Station. This is an outdoor mall, where each of the shops looks like a
store by itself. Quite a nice effect, I think. In anycase, one of the stores was
nearing completion. The inside had been finished, the carpeting done and
it was ready to be occupied. One day a young man was observed listening
carefully and intently to the wall from outside the Eddy Bauer Store. As he
was acting somewhat strange many people were curious about what he was
doing. He approached the manager and said, "There's a cat in the wall, I hear a cat." They went outside and listened by getting down on the sidewalk. Soon, they found a way to see the cat, but were unable to get it out. The manager called the construction people and they cut open the wall and freed the cat. One of the employees took the cat home. Can you guess what she named the cat? That's right, she named it Eddy.

Lesson: If we listen carefully, we may hear something no one else can hear
and it might, just might help a great deal.
