        ①威尔逊先生是一位成功的商业家,他从一个普普通通的事务所小职员做起,经过多年的奋斗,终于拥有了自己的公司和办公楼,并且受到了人们的尊敬。 
        ②这一天,威尔逊先生从他的办公楼走出来,刚走到街上,就听见身后传来“嗒嗒嗒”的声音,那是盲人用破竹竿敲打地面发出的声响。威尔逊先生愣了一下,缓缓地转过身。 
        ③那盲人感觉到前面有人,连忙打起精神,上前说道:“尊敬的先生,您一定发现我是一个可怜的盲人,能不能占用您一点点时间呢?” 
        ④威尔逊先生说:“我要去会见一个重要的客户,你要什么就快说吧。” 
        ⑤盲人在一个包里摸索了半天,掏出一个打火机,放到威尔逊先生的手里,说:“先生,这个打火机只卖一美元,这可是最好的打火机啊。” 
        ⑥ 威尔逊先生听了,叹口气,把手伸进西服口袋,掏出一张钞票递给盲人:“我不抽烟,但我愿意帮助你。这个打火机,也许我可以送给开电梯的小伙子。” 
        ⑦盲人用手摸了一下那张钞票,竟然是一百美元!他用颤抖的手反复抚摸这钱,嘴里连连感激着:“您是我遇见过的最慷慨的先生!仁慈的富人啊,我为您祈祷!上帝保佑您!” 
        ⑧ 威尔逊先生笑了笑,正准备走,盲人拉住他,又喋喋不休地说:“您不知道,我并不是一生下来就瞎眼的,都是23年前布尔顿的那次事故!太可怕了!” 
        ⑨威尔逊先生一震,问道:“你是在那次化工厂爆炸中失明的吗?” 
        ⑩ 盲人仿佛遇见了知音,兴奋得连连点头:“是啊,是啊,您也知道?这也难怪,那次光炸死的人就有93个,伤的人有好几百,那可是头条新闻啊!” 
        ⑪盲人想用自己的遭遇打动对方,或许可多得到一些钱,他可怜巴巴地说了下去:“我真可怜啊!到处流浪,孤苦伶仃,吃了上顿没下顿,死了都没人知道!”他越说越激动:“您不知道当时的情况,火一下子冒了出来!仿佛是从地狱中冒出来的!逃命的人群都挤在一起,我好不容易冲到门口,可一个大个子在我身后大喊:‘让我先出去!我还年轻,我不想死!’他把我推倒了,踩着我的身体跑了出去!我失去了知觉,等我醒来,就成了瞎子,命运真不公平啊?” 
       ⑫威尔逊先生冷冷地说:“事实恐怕不是这样吧?你说反了。” 
       ⑬ 盲人一惊,用空洞的眼睛呆呆地对着威尔逊先生。 
       ⑭ 威尔逊先生一字一顿地说:“我当时也在布尔顿化工厂当工人,是你从我的身上踏过去的!你长得比我高大,你说的那句话,我永远都忘不了!” 
       ⑮ 盲人站了好长时间,突然一把抓住威尔逊先生,爆发出一阵大笑:“这就是命运啊!不公平的命运!你在里面,现在出人头地了,我跑了出去,却成了一个没有用的瞎子!” 
       ⑯ 威尔逊先生用力推开盲人的手,举起手中一根精致的棕榈手杖,平静地说:“你知道吗?我也是一个瞎子。你相信命运,可是我不信。”
