A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said:

一個失明的男孩坐在一個大廈的階梯上，擺了一頂帽子在他的腳旁，拿著一個告示牌寫著：「我是瞎眼的，請幫幫我」。

There were only a few coins in the hat.

帽子裡只有幾枚硬幣。

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around,andwrote some words.He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

一個男人經過了， 他從口袋裡掏出了幾枚硬幣投入帽子裡。然後，他拿起告示牌把它翻轉過來寫了一些字。他放回告示牌，以便走過的每個人都會看到新的詞句。

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign! came to see how things were.

帽子很快的開始填滿了錢。更多人給失明的男孩更多的硬幣。 午後，改寫了告示牌的男人來看看事情發展得怎麼樣了。

The boy recognized his footsteps and asked,

男孩認出了他的腳步並問：「您是不是今天早上改寫我的告示牌的人？您寫了什麼？」

The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way."

那人說：「 我說了你原本的意思，但用的是另一種說法。」

What he had written was: "Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it."

他寫的是： 「今天是美好的一天，但我卻不能看見。」
