Living
The Blind Man
Translated by Isaac Taylor Headland (1900) · From Chinese Mother Goose Rhymes (1900)
Living
Old Mr. blind man, come here quick,
I see you carry a feeling-stick;
To the river side you take your way,
And feed the froggies every day;
A frog, one day, stuck out his head,
And bit your toe, I've heard it said.
