A Blind man, being stopped
in a bad piece
of road, met a Lame Man,
and entreated
him to help him out of the difficulty into
which
he had fallen.
"How can I," replied the Lame
Man, "since
I can scarcely drag myself along? I am lame,
and you look to be very strong."
"I am strong enough," said the other.
"I
could go if I could but see the way."
"O, then we may help one another,"
said
the Lame Man. "If you will
take me on
your shoulders, we will seek
our fortunes
together. I will be eyes for you, and you
shall
be feet for me."
"With all my heart," said he
Blind Man.
"Let us render each other our mutual
ser-
vices." So, taking his lame companion upon
his back, they traveled on
with safety and
pleasure.
