Could you correct this?

1i00Once, there was a seated blind man in front of a church, with a hat by their feet and a wooden piece which said: 02i02br
02br
01i00 “PLEASE, HELP ME, I AM BLIND”02i02br
02br
01i00A publicist that passed in front of the blind man stopped himself and observed that the blind man had very few currencies in the hat. Without requesting permission to the blind man, he took the poster, gave it turn, and he wrote another announcement. He put the wooden piece by the blind man's feet again and he left. 02i02br
02br
01i00Later in the afternoon, the publicist passed in front of the blind man again. The hat was full of bills and coins. The blind man recognized the publicist's steps and he asked the publicist if it had been him, who had re-written the poster, and mainly, what he had written. 02i02br
02br
01i00The publicist answered him: “Nothing as certain as your previous poster but with other words”. The publicist smiled and followed his road. 02i02br
02br
01i00The blind man never knew it, but his new poster said: 02i02br
02br
01i00“IT IS SPRING, AND I CANNOT SEE IT”02i02br
02br
00And Thank you in davance, Old Eladio0-

00The length was OK, it was no trouble at all.02br

00Don't worry about making mistakes. My feeling is that, if you don't make mistakes, you don't learn. 02br
