Write the poem 'Papa's Spectacles' in the form of a story in your notebook. Share your story with the class. You may start like this: Today, my father is unhappy...
Today, my father is unhappy because he has lost his spectacles. He searches everywhere for them - inside his pockets, under his chair, and near the window. Without his spectacles, he cannot read the newspaper, watch TV, or cut the vegetables. He looks worried and frustrated as he continues his search. After searching for a long time, I notice something on his head. I go close to him and tell him that his spectacles are right there on his head! Papa feels relieved and laughs at his own forgetfulness. He thanks me for finding his spectacles.
