Once upon a time, there was a family whose father was blind. In spite of his blindness, he loved doing crafts and he designed beautiful objects made out of wood, stone and iron.

Christmas time was approaching and this blind craftsman thought about creating an original object to give to his 6-year-old son. He thought that he could make a kaleidoscope. He made it out of glass, mirrors, metals and stones that he had previously grinded up. The result was a beautiful kaleidoscope a child could ever dream.

When the son received the gift, he liked it so much that he took it to school to show it off to his classmates. One of the students, somewhat older, asked him where he had bought that beautiful object. Then, the boy answered that it was his father who had made it.

‘Your father?’, the older boy asked in surprise.

‘Your father is blind ….’

The 6-year-old child stared at him and after a while, he smiled and said: ‘Yes, my father is blind but only his eyes are blind ….. only his eyes.
