It was a sunny day. I had gone up and down the tower when, outside the door at the foot, a blind man came toward me. In a moment, he disappeared up the stairs. I looked at the sign that said “To the Tower”, and I decided to 1 him.
I caught up with him in the ticket office. There I was 2 to see the attendant selling him a ticket as if he were any other visitor. Then, with the ticket in one hand and touching the wall with the 3 of the other, the blind man reached the stairs leading to the hallway.
“That man can’t 4 . What would he climb up the tower for?” I said to the attendant, expecting him to pay 5 attention to the poor blind man, but he didn’t answer.
“Not the 6 certainly,” I thought, feeling quite worried up the stairs. “Oh! Perhaps he wants to 7 from the tower.”
The man hadn’t gone as far as I imagined. A third of the way up the tower, I heard his steps. I slowed down and came after him at a short distance. He 8 from time to time to have a short rest.
When he got to the balcony, I was many steps 9 . As I reached it, I saw him at the corner of the tower.
At last, after ten minutes, I got closer to him. “Excuse me, but I am curious to know 10 you came up.”
He smiled, “ 11 up the stairs, you will notice how not just light but sun pours into the tower through the narrow windows here and there, so that you can feel the changes: the cool stairs suddenly become quite 12 and how up here behind the wall there is shade, but you can find the 13 as soon as going opposite a window. On the way, I took time to enjoy the fun. There is no time so good as this for feeling the difference between light and shade. It is not the first time I’ve come up.”
The blind man seemed quite 14 just like a child who was lost in his favourite games. He told me the 15 that blind men can also find the beauty in life, although they cannot enjoy the sights of the world.
