On a sunny Sunday，ten fully well-dressed people were standing at the airport waiting for the parachute （降落?。﹖raining．Suddenly，with the help of a guide dog，a blind man was coming with a parachute on his back．

“Do you also come for the parachute training？”someone asked．

“Yes！”the blind man answered in a loud voice．

“Ah—”the people cried in surprise．

“I know．Are you wondering how a blind man can parachute？”the blind man said cheerfully．“It's not difficult．I'll parachute like you．”

“But how do you know when to jump？”someone asked．

“Although I'm blind，I can hear！When the bell for the training rings，I'll carry my dog to follow you，”the blind man replied．

“Then how do you know when to open the parachute？”someone asked again．

“The coach says，counting to five from the moment I jump down，I can open it，”replied the blind man．

“But when you are about to fall to the ground，how do you know when to fall to the ground？It is the most dangerous moment．”

“It's simpler．When my dog is scared into crying and the rope in my hands becomes light，I'll prepare for falling to the ground．”

They looked at each other，all silent．
