The Girl with Glasses

Once upon a time in a small village in Africa, there lived a little girl named Amina. Amina had beautiful curly hair and a big smile, but she had one problem - she couldn't read. Every day, she would watch her friends go to school and come back with books, but she couldn't join them because she didn't know how to read. She felt left out.

One day, Amina's grandmother came to visit. Amina told her about her problem and how much she wished she could read. Her grandmother had an idea. She took Amina to the village library and introduced her to the librarian, Mr. Osei. Mr. Osei was a kind and patient man who loved books.

Mr. Osei showed Amina all the amazing books in the library. Amina's eyes widened with excitement. She had never seen so many books before! Mr. Osei said, 'Amina, all you need is a little bit of practice and dedication. Let's start with this book called 'The Adventures of Zara.' It's about a brave little girl just like you!' Amina smiled and nodded.

Every day, Amina would go to the library after school and sit with Mr. Osei. They would read 'The Adventures of Zara' together. At first, Amina struggled to read the words. She would stumble and get frustrated, but Mr. Osei encouraged her to keep trying. He said, 'You're doing great, Amina! Learning to read takes time and patience.'

With each passing day, Amina's reading skills improved. She could read words faster and understand their meaning. She became more confident in herself. Amina started borrowing books from the library and reading them on her own at home. She would get lost in different worlds and go on exciting adventures through the stories.

One sunny day, Amina's teacher announced that they were going to have a reading competition. Amina was nervous but excited. She had worked so hard to improve her reading skills, and now she had a chance to show everyone what she could do. Amina chose a book called 'The Magic Tree' and practiced reading it every day.

As she read, her classmates listened intently and were captivated by the story. When she finished, they erupted into applause. Amina had won the competition!
