Carly and the Eye Doctor
5-VIII-2002

Carly went to the eye doctor to have her eyes checked for glasses. The doctor directed her to read lines of letters with the left eye while covering the right eye.

Carly was so mixed up on which eye was which that the eye doctor in disgust took a paper bag, cut out a hole to see through with one eye, put it on her head to cover up the appropriate eye, and asked her to read the letters again.

As he did so, he noticed tears dripping from the bottom of the paper bag. "Look," said the doctor, "there's no need to get so upset about needing glasses."

"I know," she cried, "But I had my heart set on wire frames."
