sorda a los ruegos y gritos de sus padres
This is from the story about The flautist of Hamelin.
Here is the full paragraph:
Cogidos de la mano y sonrientes, formaban una gran hilera, sorda a los ruegos y gritos de sus padres que en vano, entre sollozos de desesperación, intentaban impedir que siguieran al flautista.
Nada lograron y el flautista se los llevó lejos, muy lejos, tan lejos que nadie supo adónde, y los niños, al igual que los ratones, nunca jamás volvieron.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

They did nothing, and the piper took them far, far away, so far away that no one knew where, and the children, like the mice, never returned.
