THE BLIND GIRL

A group of students were chatting and

laughing excitedly near the sidewalk. They
seemed to be talking at the same time
when suddenly they became silent. They
stared spellbound to a blind girl groping
along the wall, and feel her way about.
 Though her eyes were open, they could
tell that she could not see. In her right
hand was a bunch of flowers which she
smelled now and then. She continued
walking till the end of the street. When she
was out of sight the students gave a sigh
of relief. Were they not lucky to have two
eyes?
