A;B;C 　　Everyone has heard of the Braille system of reading for the blind. But few people know why it is called the“Braille”system or who Louis Braille was. 　　In the year 1812, Louis Braille was a very small boy. He lived in a small town in France. His father had a small shop in which he made things of leather. One day Louis was playing in his father's shop and picked up a small tool with a very sharp point. Louis fell, and the point of the tool entered his eye. And later he became blind in both eyes. 　　One day, he said to his father,“Blind people are the most lonely in the world. I can tell one bird from another by its sound. I can know the door of the house by feeling it with my hand. But there are so many things that I can't hear and can't feel. Only books can free the blind. But there are no books for me to read.”Later he did a lot of work and at last invented the Braille system of reading for the blind.
