>There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she's blind. She
>

>
>hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He's always there for her.

>
>
>
>She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her
>
>
>
>
>boyfriend.
>
>
>
>
>One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she can see

>
>
>
>everything, including her boyfriend.
>
>
>
>
>Her boyfriend asked her, "now that you can see the world, will you

>
>
>Life Is A Gift
