A Very Special Offer
02/02/2012
For Bluebell Books: Short Story Slam Week 20.
See their special offer and join — A story in 55 words!
*
‘I SING, YOU SMILE’ – written on a cardboard beside him.
I smiled and the passers-by who read it.
“Why are you doing this? You can’t even see them?” I asked the singing blind man on the sidewalk.
“Because I want to be the reason for a smile,” he said.
What a very special offer.
*
When I smiled at them, they scarcely believed it; the light of my face was precious to them. – Job 29:24
