was looking forward to a quiet view of the art works.
A young couple viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted nonstop between themselves.I watched
them a moment and decided the wife was doing all the talk.I admired the husband's patience for putting
up with her continuous talk.Distracted by their noise,I moved on.
I met with them several times as I moved through the different rooms of art.Each time I heard her
constant burst of words,I moved away quickly.
I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a purchase when the couple came near
to the exit.Before they left,the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object.He extended it
into a long stick and then tapped his way into the coatroom to get his wife's jacket.
"He's a brave man."The clerk at the counter said,"Most of us would give up if wewere blinded at such a young age.During his recovery he made a promise that his life wouldn't change.So ,as before,he and his wife come in whenever there's a new art show."
"But what dose he get out of the art?"I asked,"He can't see."
"Can't see?You're wrong.He sees a lot.More than you or I do."The clerk said,"His wife describes
each painting so he can see it in his head."
I learned something about patience,courage and love that day.I saw the patience of a young wife
describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow
blindness to change his life.And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away

One day in Overtown, Florida, 3.7 million dollars fell from the sky! It happened when a truck turned over.There was money everywhere! One man said, “The streets were like gold.” Some people took off their shirts and filled them with money.
Police officers went from door to door in the neighborhood. They asked people to return the money. After six hours, the total returned: zero.
