📖 The Story
Two old gentlemen lived on a quiet street in Loei. They were friends and neighbors, and they often went for walks together in the streets when the weather was fine. Last Saturday, they went for a walk by the side of the river. The sun was shining, the weather was warm, there were a lot of flowers everywhere, and there were boats on the water.
The two men walked happily for half an hour, and then one of them said to the other, “That’s a very beautiful girl.”
“Where can you see a beautiful girl?” said the other. “I can’t see one anywhere. I can see two young men. They are walking towards us.”
“The girl is walking behind us,” said the first man quietly.
“But how can you see her then?” asked his friend.
The first man smiled and said, “I can’t see her, but I can see the young men’s eyes.”
