Hints:
Geed-leh
God
Poland
Mute SingerEvery year at this time, the peasants began their long religious pilgrimage to Geed-leh, to visit the church there, and to pray for God's help. They walked or rode in wagons. they crowded the roads leading to the holy town. Geed-leh was famous in Poland as a place where God did miracles. The cool days also brought many beggars to Geed-leh. The peasants gave away more of their money on such a religious holiday as this. Some of the beggars were blind, some had no feet or arms. Some were very old and seemed like lost children looking for their mothers.
There was one among them who was called "the Mute Singer". He was given this name because he could not speak. There was a time when he was able to sing, while
playing his guitar. But he lost his voice. Now he played the guitar and sang, but no sounds came from his throat. His lips just moved with the music.
The Mute Singer was a tall, strange-looking man. His face and hands were brown, like the color of copper. He had white hair and a white beard: he looked like one of the wise men you read about in the Bible.
