There lives an old man in a small town. He is blind, so he can't see anything at all. But he always carries a lamp with him when he goes out at night.
One night, after having dinner outside, he meets a group of young men on his way back home. When they see the blind man carrying a lighted lamp in his hand, they start laughing and making fun of him.
"Hey, old man, why do you carry a lamp if you can't see anything?" the shortest young man asks.
The blind man stops and turns towards the sound, saying, "Glad to meet you, my friends! I may not see, but this lamp isn't for me. It is for people like you. It helps you see me clearly, so you don't accidentally run into me."
