Q. 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…
Answer:
Today, my father is unhappy because he has lost his spectacles. It was his only pair, and he has been searching for it everywhere. He is worried about how he will read his newspaper, watch TV, chop vegetables, and do other household chores without them. He has checked his pockets, looked under the table, searched near the window, and almost everywhere around the house, but he couldn’t find them anywhere. He was about to give up when I noticed something amusing — his spectacles were perched right on top of his head.
