At this moment, I finally understood the concept of a blind man touching an elephant. Unable to see and unable to discern through touch, attempting to cheat seemed more daunting than climbing to the heavens. Perhaps my only recourse was to rely on luck and wager against him in a game.
I slowly extended my hand, probing for a card. The man across from me was intently focused on my movements, watchful as if he anticipated an attempt at deception. After a protracted moment, I finally picked up a card, placing it face down on the table in readiness for him to draw.
Noticing my lack of interest in the card, he quizzed, "Aren't you going to check what you’ve drawn?"
I shook my head with a rueful smile. "Since this game relies on luck, what difference does it make whether I look or not?"
