Saviour Spectacles

Hi little men and little women! Welcome back to Spin a Story. This time I have a cute little tale about this girl in spectacles. This again appeared as a comic strip but here you can read the story in it's original form. Here goes the Saviour Spectacles!


“I don’t want to wear spectacles.” Shubrata protested as she walked out of the Optician’s chamber.”Everybody at school will make fun of me.”

“But you’ll have to, dear.” Her mother cajoled.”It’s a matter of your eyes, you see.If you don’t, you might even end up losing your eyesight forever.”

And Shubrata had no choice but to accept the foreigner perched over her tiny nose.

As expected, she was teased by the boys and girls at School.

“Hey, look, Shubrata has four eyes.” some commented.

“Doesn’t she look old all of a sudden?” some debated.

“Here comes Buddi Amma (old mother) some sneered.

“Watch out, she may step on your toes.”the others giggled.

Shubrata swallowed the tantalizes, in painful gulps and cursed the pair of specs.

“Why did you have to sit over my nose itself?” she complained in disgust.”Why didn’t you find someone else?




But little did this girl realize how the un-invited guest stationed over the ridge of her pretty little nose was going to help her very soon.

That evening when Shubrata was waiting for the School bus, along with her mocking mates, a sudden gust of wind blew past by, carrying with it hot sand gravels and tiny burning splinters.

While the merciless granules attacked all the beautiful eyes stationed there, Shubrata’s were saved by the glasses that sheltered them.

She was the only one there who could open her eyes and take in the condition while the rest of them were screaming in pain, as they rubbed their burning pupils.



At that moment Shubrata thought of nothing else but helping her howling mates.

She immediately halted a Taxi and hauled them into it and rushed to the nearest hospital.

Instant medication and care saved many a beautiful eyes that day and all because of a good deed from a good hearted girl.

From that day onwards Shubrata was looked upon with pride from her class-mates and friends while her Saviour Spectacles became the essential talk of her School.

Value:- Never make fun of other’s inabilities.
Remember, nobody is perfect in this world.

With this little message I take leave till I come back with another interesting tale to tell.
Till then Chao!
