English Original
A blind man sat on building steps, a sign at his feet reading: "I am blind, please help."
A creative publicist walked by, noticed only a few coins in the man's hat. He added some coins of his own, then—without asking permission—took the sign, flipped it over, and wrote a new message. He placed it back and left.
That afternoon, the publicist returned. The blind man's hat was now nearly full of money. Recognizing the footsteps, the blind man asked if he was the one who had changed the sign, and what he had written.
The blind man did not know his new sign read: "It's spring now, but I can't see it."
中文翻译
一位盲人坐在大楼的台阶上，脚边的牌子上写着：“我是盲人，请帮帮我。”
一位富有创意的广告人路过，注意到盲人的帽子里只有几枚硬币。他放入了自己的一些硬币，然后——未经许可——拿走了牌子，把它翻过来，写下了一条新信息。他把牌子放回原处便离开了。
当天下午，广告人再次路过。盲人的帽子里现在几乎装满了钱。盲人听出了他的脚步声，问他是不是那个改了牌子的人，以及他在上面写了什么。
盲人并不知道他的新牌子上写着：“现在是春天，但我看不见它。”
