No one wanted to play or interact with Arthur because of that reason. His parents took him to see a doctor and he got a pair of glasses. He could see now. Then, when Arthur went to school, he ran into some problems. The kids made fun of him because of the glasses so he stopped wearing them. He would walk into places that he wasn't suppose to go because he couldn't see and other things. At the end of the story, he finally finds someone that wears glasses to and his feelings of being ashamed for having glasses soon vanished. Everyone didn't make fun of him anymore.
