A blind man wanders aimlessly through the forest. Suddenly, he trips over something on the ground and falls sprawling. As the blind man gropes around on the forest floor, he discovers that he has fallen over a man who was crouching on the ground. This man is a lame man who cannot walk.
The two start a conversation with each other and bemoan each other's fate.
"I've been wandering around in this forest for as long as I can remember and I can't find my way out because I can't see." exclaims the blind man.
The lame man says: "For as long as I can remember I've been lying on the ground and can't get out of the forest because I can't get up."
And while they are talking, the lame man suddenly exclaims, "I've got it! You take me on your back and I'll tell you which way to go. Together we can find our way out of the forest.”

Meints was inspired by a poem by Christian Fürchtegott Gellert (1715-1769) and the idea formulated therein that two imperfections combine for mutual benefit. You remember not to look enviously at the other's advantage and complain, but to support each other. Gellert's poem is engraved on the base.
