In Berlin, after World War II, money was short,

supplies were tight, and it seemed like

everyone was hungry. At that time, people

were telling the tale of a young woman who

saw a blind man picking his way through a

crowd. The two started to talk. The man

asked her for a favor: could she deliver the

letter to the address on the envelope? Well, it

was on her way home, so she agreed.

She started out to deliver the message, when

she turned around to see if there was

anything else the blind man needed. But she

spotted him hurrying through the crowd

without his smoked glasses or white cane.

She went to the police, who raided the

address on the envelope, where they found

heaps of human flesh for sale.

And what was in the envelope? "This is the

last one I am sending you today."
