Synopsis:
The story is narrated from two perspectives – one of a group of bachelor soldiers who fight to peek through a telescope, and another of two childhood lovers. Despite the fact that the soldiers are teasing the couple in secrecy, it is a rather pathetic account of an illicit relationship in which the woman becomes blind after the man is forced to marry another woman.
