Translation (Htoi San) This story is about a blind man. One day, as it was getting dark, the blind man lit the light. He walked on the road with his light. One man saw this and said to him, "Oh, even you are blind," "Why do you light the light? It does not match with what you are doing." "How do you feel about this light? You don't feel the daylight and the night darkness because you don't see." The man told this to the blind man. The blind man replied, "My friend, I am blind, so I also don't see the darkness." "And I don't see the daylight. But I heard people who have sight talking about this." "If there is sunset and it gets dark, I found out people cannot see things. Therefore, I light this light for people who can see." "It could be a little help to other people." The blind man taught the man like this.
