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 read like these people. I should go to town and purchase a pair of spectacles.”
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 villagers 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 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”.
