Today, I will tell you the story of a blind boy, a blind boy who created a path of light in the midst of darkness in front of everyone. In a busy city, there was a blind youth named Nil. Every afternoon, Nil would sit at a street corner and play the flute. His melodies were so beautiful that people would stop in their tracks. However, the city was very crowded, and there was a huge hole in the road that was left unaddressed.

Many people would fall into that hole, get injured, and leave cursing. But no one thought about removing it or warning others. One day, Nil did something unusual. He gathered some old glass bottles and paint he found around the city. He had someone he knew coat those bottles with bright yellow paint. At night, when the streetlamp's light fell on those bottles, they sparkled like diamonds.
Nil then arranged those bottles around the hole. He couldn’t see with his own eyes, but he knew exactly where the danger was. That night, no one fell into the hole. Seeing the bright yellow glow from a distance, everyone was being cautious.
The next morning, the locals were astonished to see that the boy, who couldn’t see the world himself, had become a 'light of the way' for others. They felt ashamed, and together, everyone united to repair that hole.
The real lesson from this story is that to show light, we don’t always need our own vision; rather, we need a kind heart. When we step forward to help others in times of danger, we become that 'Light the way.'
