There was a story which went like this. In a little house located in a big garden, lived a blind man. He devoted all his time to attending to the plants in the garden. Though he could not see, the plants were very well taken care of. The garden was a blaze of colours all year round.

A passer-by admired the garden in astonishment. He asked the blind man, "Why are you doing this? You can't see the pretty flowers at all."

The blind man laughed and said, "There are four reasons. No. 1, I like gardening. No. 2, I'm able to touch my flowers. No. 3, I'm able to smell them. As for the last reason, it's because of you!"

"Me? But you didn't know me before this," the passer-by said.

"You're right, but I know there are some people like you who would pass by the garden at a certain point of time and be enchanted by the beautiful flowers. And I'd get to talk to you as a result."
