A blind man, being stopped in a bad piece of road, met a lame¹ man, and entreated²（恳求） him to help him out of the difficulty into which he had fallen.

 

"How can I," replied the lame man, "since I can scarcely drag myself along. I am lame, and you look very strong."

 

"I am strong enough," said the other, "I could go if I could but see the way."

 

"Oh, then we may help each other," said the lame man," If you take me on your shoulders, we will seek our fortunes together. I will be eyes for you, and you shall be feet for me."

 

"With all my heart," said the blind man," let us render each other our mutual³ services."

 

So he took his lame companion upon his back, and they traveled on with safety and pleasure.
