By Raymond Carver.
A woman is expecting an old friend of hers, a blind man she used to work for. She has arranged everything in his house and prepared good food in order to gave him a splendid welcome, but there is only one matter, her husband.
Her husband is a narrow-minded person very attached to his routine. He is neither friendly nor outgoing so the story will revolve around him getting along with the guest.
After having spent a time together drinking scotch, chatting and even smoking pot, they are more comfortable with each other. At certain point the husband turns on the T.V. A documentary that talks about different type of cathedral around the world is been shown; and the husband asks the blind man if he knows what a cathedral is.
After this question an interesting interaction between the husband and the blind man arouses. The husband draws a cathedral in order to help the blind man understand the structure of a cathedral, but ends up open his imagination for first time. The new experience of the husband amazes both, the blind man by getting a good result out of the drawing and the husband by being able to see with his mind instead of his eyes.
