Anand was an illiterate Villager. He did not know how to read and write. He often saw people wearing
spectacles for reading books or papers. He thought, “If I have spectacles, I can also read like these people. I
must go to city and buy a pair of spectacles for myself.” So one day he went to a town. He entered a
spectacles shop, He asked the shopkeeper for a pair of spectacles for reading. The shopkeeper gave him
various pairs of spectacles and a book. The villager tried all the spectacles one by one. But he could not
read anything. He told the shopkeeper that all those spectacles were useless for him. The shopkeeper gave
him a doubtful look. Then he looked at the book. It was upside down! The shopkeeper said, “Perhaps you
don’t know how to read.” The villager said, “No, I don’t. I want to buy spectacles so that I can read like
others. But I can’t read with any of these spectacles.” The shopkeeper controlled his laughter with great
difficulty when he learnt the real problem of his illiterate customer. He explained to the villager, “My dear
friend, you are very ignorant. Spectacles don’t help to read or write. They only help you to see better. First
of all you must learn to read and write.”
