He has to make a daily two-hour trip to his working place—the X-ray department of an 44 room. It was a hard job to 45 by. Before he got it, David was determined to escape the workshop run by the Lighthouse, an organization 46 to helping blind people. He wanted a job of developing X-ray film, a job 47 everyone, not just he, must work in the dark, including those with 48 eyesight.
