The Violent Book

The humor comes from the misunderstanding and irony of the blind kid using a cheese grater like a braille book and feeling its texture as violent. It plays on the expectation of a book having readable text, and twists it by applying a physical sensation instead, in a way that is unexpected and somewhat dark.
