A blind man, who had stayed with his friend until the evening, was offered a lantern so that he could go home with him.
“I don’t need a lantern,” said the blind man, “light and darkness are equal for me.”
“I know that you don’t need a flashlight to see the road,” his friend answered. “But if you go without a flashlight, then someone else might run into you in the dark.” So take it.
The blind man set off with a lantern, but had barely walked a little when someone ran straight into him.
- Watch where you're going! - the blind man shouted to the stranger, - don’t you see the lantern?
“How can I see it if it’s not lit,” he answered.
