Mary has always been the star student, so when her schoolwork slips, her parents and Miss Beadle are puzzled. The real problem turns out to be her eyesight, and Doc Baker prescribes glasses.
Nellie and Willie Oleson tease her without mercy, calling her “four eyes,” and Mary decides she would rather struggle than wear them. She schemes to get rid of the glasses. A story about self-image, teasing, and accepting help.
