One day, there was a blind man called John sitting on the bench（长条椅）with a hat by his feet and a sign that read,“I am blind. Please help me.”
A creative publicist(广告员) named Tom was walking by the blind man and stopped to see that the man only had a few coins in his hat. He put a few of his own coins in the hat.
