Blind and Kind原版英文小故事內(nèi)容：

Philip is 55 and blind. He has been blind since birth. He says he does not feel like he is missing1 anything, because he cannot imagine what sight is like. He can smell a rose, but he cannot tell if it is red, white, or blue. It does not matter to him; he enjoys the beauty of the scent2 itself.

People sometimes take pity on him, but he tells them he is a contented3 man; he does not feel cheated by Mother Nature. The doctors never figured out why he was born blind.

But his life is not a bed of roses. It is difficult for him to travel. He cannot drive, of course; he travels by bus. At home, he cannot just look out of the window to see what the weather is like, and then dress appropriately4. He can’t look at the clock on the wall to see what time it is. He uses his Braille watch or a special radio for that.
