A Blind Man with a Lamp
1. 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.
2. One night as he was coming home after having a dinner outside, he came across a group of young travelers. They saw that he was blind, yet carrying a lighted lamp. They started passingcomments on him and made 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?!”
3. 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 thepeople like you who can see. You may not see the blind man comingand end up pushing me. That is why I carry a lighted lamp”.
4. The group of travelers felt ashamed and apologized for their behavior. We should think before judging others. Always be polite and learn to see things from other’s point of view.
带着一盏灯的盲人
很久以前,有一个小镇。有一个人住在那里,他看不见。他是个盲人。然而,每当他晚上出去的时候,他都会带着一盏灯。
一天晚上,当他在外面吃完饭回家时,遇到了一群年轻的旅行者。他们看到他是盲人,却带着一盏灯。他们开始对他评头论足,取笑他。其中一个人问他:“嘿,伙计!你是个瞎子,什么都看不见!那你为什么要拿着灯呢?”
盲人回答说:“是的,很不幸,我是盲人,我什么也看不见,但我所带的灯是为像你们这样能看见的人准备的。你可能没有看到盲人的到来,最终会推到我。这就是我带着一盏灯的原因。”
那群旅行者感到羞愧,为他们的行为道歉。我们在评判别人之前应该先想想。始终保持礼貌,学会从别人的角度看问题。
