Answer:

"A Man Who Had No Eyes" is the story of the unexpected meeting of two blind men who lost their eyesight in a gas explosion. One of the men is a beggar, the other a well-dressed gentleman, Mr. Parsons. The beggar  tells Mr. Parsons all about his dreadful fate while trying to sell him a cigarette lighter. The beggar seems to gain Parsons' sympathy by his "bitter and studied drama of a story often told, and told for money". The surprise ending comes when Parsons reveals himself as the victim of the beggar's brutal action. For it was not the beggar who had been trampled on, but the beggar, Markwardt, who had climbed over Parsons.

At the beginning of the story Parsons does not seem at all angry at Markwardt's lies. The only hint as to the gentleman's change of mood is a slight change in the weather. The ending comes as a surprise: provoked by the beggar's lying, Parsons eventually reveals his identity. he puts the beggar in his place.

Both men have suffered the same fate, but have surmounted their difficulties in quite different ways. The contrast between them is evident in every aspect of their language and clothing.
