'The Blind Clown' sees the real world not fantasy

Editor,

I would like to share my story, “The Blind Clown.”
There was once a blind clown who made his way at the carnival pretending to be a mystic. He would tell people what he thought the world looked like, painting them a beautiful picture, flattering and delighting them.
Of course nobody ever disagreed with what he said, everybody loved him, and he became wealthy and famous, for a carnival clown.
In spite of his good fortune, however, he wanted so badly to see the beautiful dancing girl at the carnival.
An old wizard sold him some magic tea, and he got his sight restored. He looked around at the world, and laughing, hanged himself.
