Once upon a time, there was a great ship inhabited by 300 dwarves. Life aboard was not always easy, because the ship was home to both good dwarves and mischievous ones.

The good dwarves took care of the ship, painting it in beautiful colors and planting flowers everywhere, so that life would be lovely and everyone would be happy. But the mischievous dwarves secretly trampled the flowers and smeared black marks all over.

The good dwarves grew discouraged. "Why try so hard? It doesn't help!" they said. And they were all sad.

But one day they said to each other: "Maybe the mischievous dwarves trample the flowers because they can't see properly. Let's wash their eyes with Light!"

And so they did. They discovered there were no mischievous dwarves at all—only blind ones. Life aboard the ship became beautiful again, full of color and flowers.
