The Mocking Young Couple
A young couple boarded a train and headed to their assigned car. While they were busy getting their belongings in place and taking their seats they noticed an older man sitting with his son a few seats back. The young man, who appeared to be in his early 20’s, was transfixed by the view, wide-eyed and staring intently.
“Dad, look! The trees are going behind!” he exclaimed.
His father smiled amiably and the young couple exchanged a knowing glance.
After a few moments, the young man’s awe-struck voice arose again: “Dad, look! The clouds are running with us!”
Unable to resist, the woman turned around, saying to young man’s father: “Why don’t you take your son to a good doctor? I know someone who may be able to help him.”
The older man smiled and said…
“We are actually just returning from the hospital. My son was blind from birth, and he just got his eyes today.”
“The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.” ~ Helen Keller
