This story is all about a blind man, who lived his life in a very difficult way. After his parents diet, he only had his sister to live with. In the farmhouse everyone treated him as a beggar even his bother-in-law and made his life even more difficult, he made fun of everything his walking, eating, cruel practical jokes inspired by his blindness, he was a laughingstock, a clowned, but this man never said a word back. After few years his brother-in-law forced him to beg on the roads. On a winter day he was on the road for the whole day but no one came to get him. The snow was coming hard; he tried to walk but felt down then started walking again. When he got to a field he was tried he felt down but this time he did not try to get up. Several hours later the snow covered him. His family searched for him, for a week but did not find anything. The following week a young man discovered his body on the field. His horrible dead was relief from the pain that he been throw his whole life.
