Is someone nearby?” asked the helpless blind man, for he did not know whether it was a man or something else. “Oh dear friend, it is I,” replied a voice. “Oh. How do you do?” asked the blind man happy to have met someone. He was sure he would find some help now.
“Would you be kind enough to be my guide? I am blind and this road is quite difficult to walk on” the blind man asked hopefully. The blind man heard a desperate sigh from the other party. “I would if I could,” the other man replied. “My friend, I won’t be of any help to you,” the other said, “I can’t even drag myself properly”.
“Oh,” the blind man said, suddenly realizing that the man he met was lame, and could not walk. The blind man became sad and began to walk away. Then suddenly, the lame man calls out to the blind man. “I am willing to help you if you carry me on your back. You look healthy and strong, you can easily carry me. That way, I could easily navigate”.
The blind man agreed and said, “Yes we should help each other out”. And so the blind man carried the lame man who in turn helped the blind man walk safely. Also, read The Moon And Her Mother.
