At the age of four, Allman fell off a train and his eyes were badly hurt. Since then, he couldn’t see anything. It would be wonderful to see again, but bad luck may not be always bad.In fact, although Allman became blind, he learnt to love his life more. But he had a hard time before he was successful. The hardest lesson was to believe in himself and it had to start with the simplest things.

One day a girl gave Allman a baseball. He thought she was laughing at him and he was hurt. “I can’t use this,” he said. “Take it with you and roll (滚动) it around,” the girl smiled and said. Her words got into his head. “Roll it around!” By rolling the ball Allman could hear where it went. This gave him an idea to do something he never thought of: playing baseball. Years after that, he invented a successful game of baseball for the blind. They called it ground ball.

From then on, Allman began to smile at life and achieved more dream.
