&..&&..&&. 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... &&&&&&&&&&
