A strange woman comes to my door one day in early March．In this area we often have people selling things door-to-door, but she doesn’t look like a professional saleswoman．She just smiles and gives a card to me: “Amy Turner．”
I hold the card and look at her, waiting for an explanation．
“I’ll paint any animal in your own home,” Amy Turner says． “Wouldn’t you like a picture of your loved one? I’ve had experience of dogs, cats, parrots, prize bulls…”
“I don’t have any animals,” I say as we look past each other．She must be wishing some little cat or dog would come down the hall．It is the first chance I’ve had to breathe the air outside．In this spring morning when you wake up, you will find winter is gone．
“Why are you still in your dressing gown?” She asks． “It’s nearly lunchtime．Are you ill?’
“I’m fine,” I lie．I’m not going to tell a stranger I’ve just been sick in the toilet（厕所）upstairs． I was still sticking my fingers down my throat if the doorbell hadn’t rung． But now I’m not sure what to do next．She is still standing there．She doesn’t seem to be leaving．
“I’m hungry,” she says and I smile politely, nodding my head before saying goodbye．
“No,” she puts her foot in the door．“I’m really hungry． I’ve had nothing to eat for two days and no one has any animal for me to paint．I need some food or I’ll fall down, right here on your doorstep．”
I stand to one side and let her in．

“If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!” That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.
All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things as we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it.
There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them!
Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. There you can feel everything on show. If we want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see.
