The Blind Man and the Lame

We ought to help each
other. Two wretched men,
one blind, the other
crippled and helpless, are
so wearied with the
burdens of life that they
ask to die. But the blind
man stumbles accidentally
on the lame, and proposes
that they shall join
company and help each
other. He will carry the
cripple, who in turn will
guide his steps; so they
will bear each other’s
burdens.
