Tammy came home from school with a note (便条) from her teacher, Ms. Jones. The note said, “Tammy is having trouble seeing the blackboard. Maybe she needs to go to an eye doctor.”
After Mom read the note, she asked Tammy, “How long did you have trouble seeing the blackboard?”
“About a month.”
“I will call Dr. Gray and you’re going to see her tomorrow after school.”
Tammy went to her room and began to worry. That night Tammy did not sleep.
The next day after school, Tammy went to Dr. Gray’s office with her mom. When Tammy went in to see the doctor, she was so nervous. The doctor told her and her mom that Tammy was having trouble seeing things from far away. She told Tammy that she would need to choose a pair of glasses to help her see well. Tammy looked worried.
“What’s t
he matter?” asked Dr. Gray.
“I don’t want to wear glasses! All the girls are going to laugh at (嘲笑) me.”
“Why aren’t you laughing at me? I’m wearing glasses.”
“You look so beautiful in yours.”
“Then let’s choose some glasses that look almost like mine.”
Tammy and Dr. Gray found a pair of brown
and black glasses. Tammy wore the glasses and read from far away. “Everything looks so clear!” said Tammy. “I really like my new glasses.”
Tammy went to school the next day and wore her glasses to read the blackboard. “Tammy, your glasses are so cool!” said the girls. Tammy felt so much better.
