　　Mr. Black worked in an office in London, but he lived in the country and came to work by train every day. The station was not far from his office, and Mr. Black always walked from his office to the station in the evening, because he liked walking. He always went along the street. Every evening he passed a poor man there. The man sat at the side of the road and sold matches (火柴), and there was always an old dog near him. There was a piece of paper around the dog' s neck, and the words I AM BLIND were on the paper.

　　Mr. Black was a kind man. He always stopped and said some kind words to the poor man and gave him a little money, but he did not take any of his matches.

　　One day Mr. Black had a lot of work in his office and was very late. He said, “My train always leaves at five past six, and it is ten to six now. I'm not going to talk to the poor man today, and I' m not going to give him any money.” He came to the man and his dog, but he did not stop and did not say anything. He walked quickly to the station. But the poor man stood up quickly, ran after him and said, “Why don't you give me any money today? You're always kind to me. Give me a little money today, too. I'm a poor man.”

　　Mr. Black stopped and looked at him. “You are a blind man. How did you follow me?” he said. The poor man said, “No, I'm not blind. My dog is.”
