 * When Walter started school he was very good at reading from what his mom had talk him. But when he read in front of the class the kids said he had a speeck problem. He was going to skip 1st grade but because he didn't talk right he didn't. If someone teased Walter of having a speeck problem he would punch them. Walter ended up moving to a bigger better apartment. **

**Walter moved up to fourth grade. During the middle of the year Walter needed to get his appendix taken out. He was told he shouldn't go outside for a while. When did Walter ever listen so he rode his bike? He saw his dad so he rode as fast as he could in to the apartment and in to his bed. He got internal bleeding from that. He was out for half the year and moved up the 5th grade. **

﻿  ﻿Chapter 6 Walter was a bad boy during the summer. Finally he went to sixth grade. He got a very good teacher, Mr. Irwin Lasher. Mr. Lasher was in the army before he taught. He taught Walter how to behave. During the summer before seventh grade, he started to play sports. His favorite sport was baseball. One day he decided he wanted to go on the back of the taxi. His shirt got stuck when he was trying to get off. It pulled him the whole block. A month later he was playing baseball and the ball went on top of the church. He saw in movies that you could jump off buildings and your parachute would come out. He broke bones in both of his feet.
