His kind wife and child try their hardest to make his life happy, but the young blind man constantly broods over his misfortune. While he's sitting on the steps of a public building, with all the world passing by seeming happy, God reveals to him a side of life that makes him satisfied with his lot. The young man sees, instead of a good and patient wife, a veritable shrew who is mercenary and unwifely and sends him out with curses to make a living. He tries hard to find employment, but an uncharitable and commercial world is impatient with his shortcomings. He comes back to his house and finds that he is dispossessed, while his wife upbraids him. He goes out again and tries to steal some bread, but a mob catches him; as they pounce on him, he awakens and finds that it's late and his good wife has come to take him home. His former mental agony alleviated, he thanks God, Written by
