Billy was always amazed by how smart his friend Nick was. He always knew the answers in class, and Billy wondered how he did it. One day, he saw Nick wearing glasses and thought, "That's her secret!" Billy rushed home, determined to tell his mom he needed glasses too." When Billy rushed in, his mom asked him, "How was your day at school?". "Okay", Billy replied. Then he blurted out "Mom, I need glasses!" His mother was surprised and asked him, "Are you having trouble seeing things at school?" "No, not really" replied Billy.
"Are your eyes hurting you or something?, his mother asked. Again, Billy replied, "No". "Then why do you think you need glasses?" his mother continued her questioning. "So, I will be smart like Nick", Billy stated boldly, "He is the smartest guy in the whole school." "Oh my darling, you friend has glasses because he needs to make his eyey work better. The glasses don't make him smarter", his mom carefully explained. "Are you sure mom?" Billy prodded. "Yes, indeed", his mom comforted him.
"Hmm, maybe I could just get some glasses and see if it might work?", Billy asked again. His mother patiently repeats "No glasses will help you be smarter. Perhaps reading more and paying closer attention will help you?" Billy still wasn't convinced and getting classes sounded a lot easier than putting in all that effort. "Are you sure? Maybe glasses will make me look smarter at least?" His mom gently shakes her head and adds, "No sweetheart." "Nick is so smart and so cool. He has great hair and really cool glasses. The teacher likes him the best. And everyone admires him. He is really cool looking and smart, Billy explained, "I want glass to be like Nick!"
Feeling defeated, Billy sat alone on the playground, watching Sarah play with other kids. " - I'll never be as smart as Sarah, he sighed, kicking a pebble. " - Maybe I should just give up." He looked at the sky, thinking that being smart wasn't for him. He felt a heavy weight in his heart and wished he could find the answer.
Just then, Sarah came over and sat beside him. " - Why do you want glasses so much, Billy? she asked, tilting her head. " - I thought they made you smart, he admitted. Sarah giggled and said, " - Glasses don't make you smart. Reading books and asking questions do!" Billy's eyes lit up with understanding and hope.
With newfound wisdom, Billy decided to try reading more books and asking questions in class. He started enjoying learning and felt proud when he answered questions correctly. " - You're smart, Billy! Sarah cheered. Billy smiled, realizing he didn't need glasses to be wise. He had found the true secret to wisdom: curiosity.
