Answers
Answer:
The tale is about a meeting between strangers on a train. The journey brings together two people (who are blind) into close proximity and casual conversation. They both try to pretend that they are sighted unaware of each other’s disability.
Explanation:
Dejected, the narrator pushed himself toward the window again. The new passenger was a male and he did not realize the narrator’s lack of vision, much like the girl.
He broke the ice and offered his consolation for not being as pretty as the last passenger (the girl). The narrator stuck to his assessment and called her interesting. He asked about her hair but the man said he did not notice her hair.
However, the man dedicated another compliment to her by saying that she was very pretty with beautiful eyes, even though she was blind. This revelation surprised the narrator who thought about the futility of his attempts to hide his blindness in front of another blind person.
