The Villager And The Spectacles


There was a villager. He was uneducated. He didn't have any idea how to read and write. He frequently saw people wearing spectacles while reading books or papers. He started wondering 'If I also have spectacles, I can also read like these people. I should go to town and purchase a pair of spectacles for myself.”


So one day, he went to a town. He entered a spectacles shop and asked the shop owner for a pair of spectacles for reading. The shopkeeper gave him different pairs of spectacles and a book. The villager tried all the spectacles individually. But he was unable to read anything. He told the shop owner that all those spectacles were useless for him. 


The shopkeeper looked at him suspiciously. Then he checked the book out. It was upside down! The shopkeeper said, "Maybe you don't know how to read.” The villager said, "No, I don't. I need to purchase spectacles so that I can read like others. But I cannot read with any of these spectacles." The shop owner controlled his laughter with great difficulty when he understood the genuine problem of his uneducated customer.  The shopkeeper then said, "my dear friend, spectacles only correct your eye defect, not your reading and writing ability. To study first, you should learn how to read and write”.


The Moral of the Story

The moral of the Villager And The Spectacles is that ignorance is blindness.

Meanwhile, the two wicked men in the forest chose to kill their mate in return. They thought that they would split the money among them. All three wicked men did their cruel plans. The thief who needed all the cash for himself came to the forest with the poisoned food. The two men in the forest hit him and beat him to death. Then they ate the poisoned food and died. Accordingly, these evil people met with an evil end.

The villagers heard the yell and rushed to help him. But when they arrived there, they could see no lion and the kid was perfectly alright. The kid giggled at the fellow villagers saying, 'No Lion; I did it just for the sake of entertainment.' The villagers got highly irritated and returned with anger.

FAQs on Stories for 11-Year-Olds

1. How did the boy prank the villagers?

He used to scream that the lion was chasing him. “The lion is chasing me!” When the villagers heard the cry and the scream of a boy, they came running up the hill to drive the lion away.

2. Why did the villager want to buy spectacles?

The villager wanted to buy the spectacles because he thought that if he would buy the spectacles, then he would be able to read and write like other people. But, his wrong thinking led him to purchase a pair of spectacles with which he thought he could read and write but that’s not possible when he told the shopkeeper that he is still unable to read things. He was uneducated, that was the reason he was unable to read. We should not ignore the main reason behind the cause.

3. What is the meaning of the idiom “As you sow, so shall you reap”?

The idiom “As you sow, so shall you reap” means that the way a person behaves with others will determine how others will behave toward him. If a person has good thoughts about others, he will have everyone’s trust and if a person has negative thoughts about others, other people will never talk to him and he will be left alone.


In short, if you do good to others you will also be rewarded with good and if you are bad or unkind, you will get the same from others.
