A BLIND MAN AND A LAME MAN

Once upon a time there was a blind man who lived in the same house with a lame man. They were good friends to each other.

One is day the blind man said to the lame man, “ I can run with my legs, but I can’t see with my eyes. What shall I do, if there is a fire ?”

The lame man answered, “ I can see with my eyes, but I can’t run with my legs. If you can carry me on your back, I can see for you and you can run for me.”

“that’s a good idea,” said the blind man.

“Let’s help each other.”

Not long after this, there was a fire. The blind man carried the lame man on his back. And so they both got out of the house.
