My uncle Aram liked to tell the story of a king and a young man. This king was inclined to have absurd and ridiculous ideas, and the man, one of his advisers, had more good sense and wit than the King and all his ancestors put together.

One evening the King said: "By morning I want you to let me know how many blind people live in the city." "Oh, the adviser said, "Oh, I see". He went away to think of a solution to this absurd task. He invited an expert book-keeper, placed him on a fine horse, put a book and a pen in his hands, and told him to ride through the city and to put down the blind as they came to them. Then the young man tied a very large branch of a lilac tree to the saddle of the horse with a strong rope. Dragging this brunch behind him, he began to ride over the streets of the city.

After a moment the old man in the street looked up and shouted : " My son, what are you doing? " The adviser turned to the book-keeper and said: "Book-keeper, this man is blind, begin your account!" In the next street a lady put her head out of a fine house and said:" Young man, what are you doing?" and the adviser told the book-keeper to continue his account.

By morning the account of the blind included all the people of the city and the adviser and the book-keeper turned their horses into the gardens of the king's estate. They were still dragging the branch of the lilac tree. The king himself came out onto a balcony and looked down at his adviser." Hallo!" he shouted. "What are you doing?" The adviser turned quickly to his helper: "Book-keeper, the account is complete. This son of a bitch is blind too."
