Unseen Passage for Class 3 - Passage 03
Posted by Olympiad Tester on
Lucy squinted at the board. Was that a five or an eight? Her friends, Lily and Ava, copied the math problems into their notebooks, but Lucy couldn't see the board from the back of the room.
"Lucy, is something wrong?" Mrs. Johnson asked.
"No, Mrs. Johnson," Lucy replied.
Lucy slid over in her seat, trying to copy the problems from Lily's paper. "Lucy, would you please come to my desk?" Mrs. Johnson said.
Lucy walked up to Mrs. Johnson's desk at the front of the room. "I wasn't trying to cheat," Lucy lowered her head and whispered, "I just can't see the board."
"Oh, that is a problem. It sounds like you're nearsighted. Do you have glasses you should be wearing?"
Lucy felt a lump in her throat. Her parents had taken her for glasses two weeks ago, but she didn't want to wear them in class where everyone would see.
Mrs. Johnson sighed. "I think I see the problem. You don't want your friends to know you need glasses. Is that right?"
Lucy nodded.
"Well, there is another solution. I could move your seat to the front of the room."
"But then I wouldn't be with Lily and Ava," Lucy said.
"You're going to have to make a decision, Lucy. Either you wear your glasses or I move your seat. The choice is up to you."
Lucy turned to look at Lily and Ava. Lily had a worried expression on her face. Ava mouthed the words, "What's wrong?" They were good friends, and Lucy wanted to continue sitting with them.
"I think I'm going to keep my seat in the back," Lucy said.
Mrs. Johnson nodded. "Okay, but if I don't see you wearing your glasses when you're copying problems from the board, I'll be forced to move your seat."
"I understand," Lucy walked back to her seat, wondering how she was going to tell Lily and Ava that she needed to wear glasses.
"Are you in trouble?" Lily asked.
"You look scared," Ava said.
"I'm not in trouble. I just have to wear my glasses if I'm going to sit back here with you."
"Then put them on," Lily said with a shrug. Lucy smiled. "I will."
