Eagle Eye

13 Eagle Eye Jimmy was known as “ Eagle Eye" . He was a champion archer. An archer is a person who shoots targets with a bow and arrow. No one in his school had better aim or better eyesight than Jimmy. When school started after the summer vacation, Jimmy joined the archery team again. He shot his first arrow of the season, but it did not hit the target. “ No problem, " he said. “ I just had something in my eye. I'll get it this time. " He tried again and missed. . . again. Jimmy had never missed before. Someone said, “ Hey Jimmy, I think you need glasses! " Everyone laughed because they all knew what good eyesight Jimmy had. After class, the gym teacher spoke with Jimmy. " You know, Jimmy, you should get your eyes checked. You may actually need glasses. A lot of great athletes wear glasses or contact lenses. " But Jimmy insisted that he was fine.

Over the next few weeks, Jimmy played more sports, but he was not the same as before. He missed shots that he would never have missed before. The gym teacher was always watching. Finally, he approached Jimmy and said, “ Come with me. " He took Jimmy to the nurse's office. There was an eye chart on the wall. Jimmy read the top line and the second line perfectly. But when he attempted to read the third line, he began to struggle and got one of the letters wrong. The nurse smiled and said, “ Jimmy, there's nothing wrong with your eyes. You just need glasses. " “ Glasses?" Jimmy said. " How terrible! " Jimmy got his glasses. At first, he felt a little strange wearing them. But when he went to archery practice, he made perfect shot after perfect shot. The class applauded because the old Jimmy was back. Now, Jimmy wears special sports glasses, and he's back to being the best athlete in the school. He looks pretty cool in his glasses. And everyone still calls him “ Eagle Eye" .
