,,&,&&,,,, 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 &&,,&,,,&,

,,&,,,&,&& ,,&,&&,,&,
,,,&,,,,&& 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... ,,,,&&&,,&
