I have often thought it would be a     1    (bless) if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days. And I have imagined what I should most like to see if I     2    (give) the use of my eyes for just three days.

On the first day, I should want to see the people     3    kindness and gentleness and companionship have made my life worth     4    (live). I should like to see the books which     5    (read) to me, and which have revealed to me the    6     (deep) channels of human life and the human spirit. In the afternoon I should take a long walk in the woods to enjoy the beauties of nature. That night, I should not be able to sleep.

On the second day, I should like to see the pageant of man’s progress and go to the museums. I should see the things I knew through touch.    7    night, I should go to the theater or the cinema.

On the third day, I should again greet the dawn and discover new delights     8    new revelations of beauty. Today, I shall spend in the workaday world and experience the business of life.

I,     9    blind lady, want to give a hint to those who see: Make full use of your senses, of which I think sight must be the most     10    (delight).
