Clear may morning a young man saw the wall of the Park man, about his age, to beg. Next to him stood a poster representing the inscription by hand on a piece of Board: "I'm blind".

The young man drew from his pocket a marker, was credited on the poster with a few words and continued on his way.

—I just added a few words, explained a passerby. — But nothing that would not be true.Now it says: "I'm blind — and at spring street..." published
