Once upon a time, there lived a man by himself. He was blind, but he always took a candle with him whenever he went out at night.
One night when he came home after having dinner outside, he met a group of young men. They saw the blind man taking a candle, so they made fun of him. One of them asked, "Hey, man! You are blind and can't see anything! Why do you take the candle with you then?"
The blind man said, "Yes, I am blind and I can't see anything, but the candle is for the people like you who can see. They can see me coming and won't knock into me. That is why I take a candle." The young men felt ashamed(羞愧的) and said sorry to the blind man.
We should think before judging(评价) others. Always be polite to others and learn to care about other people's feelings.
