    We blind people see better than those who have eyes.

    There is a story about a blind girl who had a neighbor who watched her movements very carefully. She worked hard to save her money. She would quietly go out in her garden at night and bury her savings under a fruit tree. The neighbor noticed her secret. One day he stole her savings and didn’t care anymore about her movements. She quickly noticed that her savings were missing from her secret hiding place and began to ponder how it happened.

    She realized that someone close to her had seen her movements and found out her secret. As she only had one close neighbor, she decided to test his honesty. One day she approached her neighbor and confided in him that she had recently inheritesd a large sum of money but was uncertain how to keep it. She told him that she kept her savings in a secret spot but was heritant whether she should put this money in the same spot or in a new one. She asked his advice. He reassured her that she should place the money in the same spot as it was a secret and apparently very safe. She agreed and said she would do it the next day. That night the neighbor quietly replaced the money he had stolen with the expectation that she would add a large sum to it and then he would steal all. The next day when she went to examine her secret hiding spot. She emptied the money the neighbor placed there the previous day and took it into the house. When the neighbor went that night to get the booty, he found nothing. But there was a handwritten note that said, “we blind people see better than those who have eyes.”
