Billy was at home packing a suitcase. He was going on a long trip and he wanted to be sure to have everything he needed. He had packed lots of clothes and put them neatly in the suitcase. He put in some food and some toys, too.
Suddenly, Billy felt something strange in his left eye. He put his hand to it and felt a sharp pain. He cried out and shouted for his mother. She came running in and saw the problem right away. Billy had something stuck in his eye.
His mother got some tweezers and carefully tried to take it out. She was calm and gentle, but no matter how hard she tried, nothing worked. In the end they had to go to the hospital.
The doctors were able to get the object out, but not before it had caused some serious damage. Billy's eye was red and swollen. He was going to have to wear an eye patch for a few weeks until it healed.
Billy was sad. His trip would have to wait until his eye was better. He had been excited about his journey and now he had to remain at home instead.
