" Everything owns a sound, loud or soft. When sound hits a thing, it comes back an echo.

Mumbi said -Everything sends back a sound, however soft. If you listen to an echo with care, you can tell where it is coming from.

The ear is the eye of the soul. It sorts out the sound and the echo and tells us what makes the sound and where it is coming from "
