Answer: In the short story The Eyes Have It by Ruskin Bond, while talking over the beauty of Mussoorie, suddenly the narrator asked the girl what that was like outside and it was the mistake.
Though the narrator was blind, he concealed his blindness from the girl and he began to talk with her casually like an eye-sighted man. But suddenly, in course of conversation, he asked the girl about the outside of the train’s window. The narrator immediately thought that as he was pretending to be a eye-sighted man, he should not ask such question because a man having eyesight could himself see outside. So, to him, it was a mistake.
To this mistaken question, the girl remained silent as she also tried to hide her blindness. Then she smartly questioned him why he had not looked out of the window.
