progris ript 5-Mar 10

1m skared. Lots of people who work here and the nurses and the people who
gave me the tests came to bring me candy and wish me luck. I hope I have
luck. I got my rabits foot and my lucky penny and my horse shoe. Only a black
cat crossed me when I was comming to the hospitil. Dr Strauss says dont be
supersitis Charlie this is sience. Anyway 1m keeping my rabits foot with me.
I.asked Dr Strauss if III beat Algernon in the race after the operashun
and he said maybe. If the operashun works III show that mouse I can be as
smart as he is. Maybe smarter. Then III be abel to read better and spell the
words good and know lots of things and be like other people. I want to be
smart like other people. If it works perminint they will make everybody smart
all over the wurld.
They dint give me anything to eat this morning. I dont know what that
eating has to do with getting smart. 1m very hungry and Dr Nemur took away
my box of candy. That Dr Nemur is a grouch. Dr Strauss says I can have it
back after the operashun. You cant eat befor a operashun...
