18、. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw：a plough and a wall. When Mrs. Edwards came running up to him，shouting to their neighb

19、ors to call for help，he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread, and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning.

20、However, none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened.
