Once upon a time, there was a small town. There lived a man by himself who
couldn’t see. He was blind. Yet, he carried a lighted lamp with him whenever he
went out at night.
One night as he was coming home after having a dinner outside, he came across
a group of young travellers. They saw that he was blind, yet carrying a lighted
lamp. They started passing comments on him and made a fun of him. One of them
asked him, “Hey Man! You are blind and can’t see anything! Why do you carry the
lamp then?!”
The blind man replied, “Yes, unfortunately, I am blind and I can’t see anything but
a lighted lamp which I am carrying is for the people like you who can see. You
may not see the blind man coming and end up pushing me. That is why I carry a
lighted lamp”.
The group of travellers felt ashamed and apologized for their behaviour.
Moral: We should think before judging others. Always be polite and learn to see
things from others point of view.
