Just after Christmas, a student told me an interesting story...
She went to play in a youth concert in a town that she was unfamiliar with. Leaving the venue, she needed to find her way to the main train station. She asked a couple of passersby for directions, but surprisingly they couldn't help her. Then she saw a woman walking her dog, and she kindly offered to take her there, as it was on her way. While they were going there, they engaged in conversation, asking each other questions and some time later they arrived at the station. I'm not sure how it came about, but the lady then indicated that she was blind! She said that normally she would have used her 'stick', but in this instance she took the dog for a walk! The student was so amazed and impressed as the lady had appeared to be so confident in walking and in knowing where she was going...
Really, this was a case of the blind leading the...lost! :-)
