 <\/p>\n

These read-aloud Latino<\/a> stories will introduce children of all backgrounds not only to the joys of reading but to the exciting, heroic and magical traditions of Latino<\/a> culture.<\/p>\n

Next we want to share one of the book\u2019s history, that leaves a great teaching:
\n_______________________________________________________
\nThe blind Man and the Cripple.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While walking down a windy path, a blind man tripped on a rock and fell. “I cannot go on by myself. This path is too difficult.” He rested on a rock and waited.<\/p>\n

A little while passed, and the blind man heard someone approaching.<\/p>\n

“My friend,” said the blind man.<\/p>\n

“Would you help me find my way?” “I would very much like to help but I am lame.
\nThe path is windy and my legs are having a hard time of it alone. You look well and strong.”<\/p>\n

“Yes, I am healthy. It is not my legs that give me trouble.
\nIt is my eyes. I am blind.\u201d \u201cLuck is not on our side,\u201d remarked the lame man.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are healthy but cannot see. I can see, but can barely walk.
\nNevertheless, I have an idea. What do you think if I lend you my eyes, and you help me with your feet?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGreat idea,\u201d answered the lame man. \u201cAlone we may not get to where we are going.
\nBut together we are sure to finish this walk.\u201d<\/p>\n

So the blind man bent down and the lame man sat on his shoulders. Using the blind man\u2019s legs and the lame man\u2019s eyes, the two proceeded along their journey.<\/p>\n

Said the lame man to the blind man:<\/p>\n

\u201cTake me on your shoulders.<\/p>\n

You will be my legs,<\/p>\n

And I will be your eyes.\u201d
