P. 13
There was a villager. He was an illiterate person. He did not know
how to read and write. He often saw people wearing glasses for
reading books or papers. He thought, “If I have glasses, I can also
read like these people. I must go to the town and buy a pair of
glasses for myself.”
So, one day he went to the town. He entered a spectacles shop.
He asked the shopkeeper for a pair of glasses for reading. The
shopkeeper gave him various pairs of glasses and a book.
illiterate : not able to read and write
tried : checked, used to find its reliability
The villager tried all the glasses one-by-one. But, he could not
read anything.
He told the shopkeeper that all those glasses were useless for
him.
