Beschrijving
A Cure for Nearsightedness (previously The Boy “Loses his Sight”). A farmhand complains to his master (farmer, skipper, shoemaker) that he must be growing nearsighted (blind), because he cannot see the filling in his sandwich [J1561.4.2]. (He asks for glasses to see what has been given to him to eat.) The wife of his master takes the complaint to heart and gives him more cheese on his bread for his next meal. The farmhand says this is much better, because now he can read the newspaper through the cheese.
