Usually kids aren't familiar with the full scope of language (metaphors, allusions, and so-on), meaning when an adult tells one to "keep an eye on the ball", he might as well try to put his eye on the ball.
小孩子们通常不能完全理解语言（当中的隐喻、典故等等），所以当大人告诉孩子“注意看着球（把一只眼睛放在球上）”的时候，他可能真的会把一只眼睛放在球上。
 
To illustrate that, Bored Panda has collected some of the most hilarious images of kids taking instructions too literally. These little fellows were just trying their best to follow instructions.
