,,&&&,&&,, naftakin, the blind ,,,,&&,,,,
,&,,&&,&,, ,,,\,,, ,,,&,&,,,,
&&,&,&&&,& ,,&&&&,,,,
,&&&&,,&&, a student at the charcoal guild... his ,&,,,&,,,&
&,,,&,&,&& eyes sewn shut from birth... the most &&,,&&,,&&
&,,&&&&&,& successful student ,&,&,&,&,,
&,&,,,,&&& &&&&&&&&,&
&&&,,,&,,& but one day he fell down into a crystal ,,,,,,,&&,
,,&,,&&,&& cavern. it was deep in the mountain, a ,,,,,,&,&&
,&&,&,&&,& great hall with only a single tiny ,,,,,&&&,&
&,&&&&,&&, inlet for both light and falling ,,,,&,,&&&
&&,,,&&,&& students... ,,,&&,&,,,
,&,,&,&&,& ,,&,&&&,,&
&&,&&&,&&& in the fall, the quartz sliced off the ,&&&,,&,&&
,&&,,&&,,, threads in his eyes, opening them for &,,&,&&&,,
&,&,&,&,,, the first time. before him, the &,&&&,,&,,
&&&&&&&,,& crystals mirrored and refracted the one &&,,&,&&,&
,,,,,,&,&& light smidge into a whole night sky, ,&,&&&,&&,
,,,,,&&&,, and he was struck down with awe &&&,,&&,&,
,,,,&,,&,& ,,&,&,&&&,
,,,&&,&&&, but also with shame, because his eyes ,&&&&&,,&,
,,&,&&,,&& had seen. hurriedly, he used thread &,,,,&,&&,
,&&&,&,&,& from his robe to sew them back &,,,&&&,&,
&,,&&&&&&& together, and when help came he did not &,,&,,&&&,
&,&,,,,,,, tell of his transgression. &,&&,&,,&&
&&&,,,,,,& &&,&&&,&,,
,,&,,,,,&, for years he studied at the guild. he ,&&,,&&&,&
,&&,,,,&&, became a master, and then a pilgrim. &,&,&,,&&&
&,&,,,&,&, yet the image from the cave never left &&&&&,&,,&
&&&,,&&&&& him. ,,,,&&&,&,
,,&,&,,,,, ,,,&,,&&&&
,&&&&,,,,, at the end of his life, when at the ,,&&,&,,,&
&,,,&,,,,& edge of the world he opened his eyes ,&,&&&,,&&
&,,&&,,,&, for a second time, stars had hatched in &&&,,&,&,,
&,&,&,,&&, them... ,,&,&&&&,&
