On the first morning of her visit, as she walked from the hotel to the market, she passed a beggar (乞丐). He was holding up a notice, which said, "Blind from birth. Please give generously(慷慨地).①"

Julia felt sorry for the blind beggar and she bent down and put a dollar coin into his bowl.

"Thank you." he said.

The same thing happened again the following day. On the third day, however, Julia did not have a dollar coin. She had only fifty cents, so she dropped this into the beggars bowl.

"What have I done wrong?" the beggar said, "Why are you so stingy (吝啬的) today?"

Julia was very surprised at what the beggar said.

"How do you know I haven't given you a dollar?" she said, "If youre blind you can't know what coin I put into your bowl."

"Ah," explained the beggar,"The truth is that I'm not blind. I'm just looking after this place for the regular beggar while hes on holiday.②"

"On holiday?" Julia said, "And what exactly does your blind friend do on holiday?"

"He goes into the countryside,"the man said, "and takes photographs. He's a very good photographer."
