Grandma's Glasses

Nani keeps losing her glasses. (1)

"Where did I keep them?" she always asks. Without her glasses, she cannot find her glasses. So,

she needs me to be her eyes. (2)

Sometimes her glasses are in the bathroom, on her bed or on her head. " Nani ," I say, "they are

on your head!" (3)

"Of course! Thank you, Richa dear," she says with a giggle. This time, though, I cannot find

Nani's glasses. Not yet. (4)

I have looked everywhere. On her head, in the bathroom, on the puja shelf, and under her

favourite chair. No glasses. Where could they be? I decided to find out what she had done all day.

(5)

"I did nothing much today. Except that Veena's mother-in-law came, you know. And how much

she gossips! We had many cups of tea. She ate all the laddoos your mother had made," said Nani. (6)

Raju said, " Nani was very busy today. She wrote a letter to the Chief Minister about her pension. (7)

Amma said, "She spoke for a long time to your Masi. She finished knitting the sweater for Raju and went for a short walk." (8)

I now had many clues. I quickly looked around the new places in the house. Aha! I have found the missing glasses! (9)

The glasses were wrapped in wool, kept next to her pen, under the phone, on her desk. I found a

half-eaten laddoo there as well. For Nani's next birthday, I will save money for an extra pair of

glasses! (10)
