TALE

THERE WAS ONCE A MOTHER WHO WAS EXPECTING A CHILD. SHE KNEW THAT
THE BABY WAS GOING TO BE DEFORMED, BUT WHEN THE BABY WAS BORN, IT
WAS ONLY AN EYE. THE DOCTOR WENT IN TO TALK TO THE MOTHER AND
TOLD HER THAT HER BABY WAS JUST AN EYE. THE MOTHER BECAME VERY
UPSET, STARTED CRYING, AND ASKED, "WHAT COULD BE WORSE?" THE
DOCTOR REPLIED, "IT'S BLIND."
