IS THERE A BETTER WAY?

There was once a young boy who was blind from birth, he sat along the streets everyday to beg for money. He had his hat in front of him where money were usually dropped by passersby, with an inscription hanging over his neck that says I AM BLIND. PLEASE HELP ME!!!
A man walked up to him one day, dropped a few coins in the hat, took away the inscriptions from the boy's neck, cleaned the writings off, and wrote something on it.
Passersby came and dropped money, in few minutes, the hat containing  the money was full to the brim, the boy could not believe as he had never had such before.
Soon, the earlier man that earlier  wrote on his neck came by,the boy could understand his footsteps, he asked ”Were you the one who changed my sign this morning?  What did you write?”
The man answered and said " I only wrote the truth but in a different way"
'What did you write'? ..he asked him. What he had written was
TODAY IS BEAUTIFUL AND I CANNOT SEE IT.
The young boy was amazed at this juncture, he could not digest what he has just heard. He had probably got it wrong somewhere.

Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? 
Of course both signs told people the
boy was blind.
But the first sign simply told people to    help by putting some money in the hat.  The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?
