Story 15. Getting Eyeglasses
Little Freddy was having trouble in school.
His mom was worried.
So she took Freddy to see a doctor.
Dr. Adams gave him an eye test.
He told Freddy that he did not see as well as the other kids.
Your eyes are weak, said Dr. Adams.
You have trouble seeing what the teacher writes on the board.
That's why you need to get eyeglasses.
Oh no! Freddy cried.
I don't want to wear glasses.
The kids will make fun of me. His mom said, Don't you want to do better in school?
The doctor said, You have a problem with your eyesight.
Wearing glasses will help prevent it from getting worse.
Some people can even go blind if they don't take care of this problem.
I'm sure your friends will understand.
That night, Freddy decided that it was better to wear glasses than to grow up and become blind.
