7) Helen’s eyes Helen’s eyes were not very good, so she usually wore glasses. But when she was seventeen and she began to go out with a young man, she never wore her glasses when she was with him. When he came to the door to take her out, she took her glasses off, and when she came home again and he left, she put them on. One day her mother said to her, “But Helen, why do you never wear your glasses when you are with Jim? He takes you to beautiful places in his car, but you don’t see anything.” “Well, Mother,” said Helen, “I look prettier to Jim when I am not wearing my glasses – and he looks better to me too!” What did Helen usually wear?          Why did she do this?     What did she begin to do when she was seventeen?       What did she do when she was with the young man?         Why did the young man come to the door?      What did Helen do then?        What did she do when she came home?        What did her mother say to her one day?        What did Helen answer?
