Louis Braille was born in France in 1809. His father had a small business. He made shoes and other things

completely blind.
When he was ten years old, he entered the national Institute for the blind in Paris. One day his class
went to visit a special exhibit by a captain in the army. One thing in the exhibit was very interesting for Loius. It
showed message in code. Armies send messages in secret codes so no one else can read them. The captain
wrote this code in raised letters on very thick paper.

with their fingers. It is very difficult to feel the differences between raised letters. Instead of letters, Louis used a
