I Read the passage carefully and answer these questions
Louis Braille was born in France in 1809 His father had a small
business He made shoes and other things from the leather Louis liked to
help his father in the store even when he was very small One day when
Louis was 3 years old, he was cutting some leather Suddenly the knife
slipped and hit him in the eyes He soon became completely blind
When he was ten years old, he entered the National Institute for the
blind in Paris One day his class went to visit a special exhibit by a captain
in the army One thing in the exhibit was very interesting for Louis It
showed message in code Armies send messages in secret codes so no one
else can read them The captain wrote this code raised letters on very thick
paper
Louis thought a lot about this code Then he decided to write in the
same way so the blind could “read” with their fingers It is very difficult to
feel the differences between raised letters Instead of letters, Louis used a
“cell” of six dots He arranged the dots with two dots cross and three
down So blind people can read and write even music by Braille
