with so little I think you deserv
it most of all.
So I got scaird
when Dr Nemur and Dr Strauss argud about it. Dr Strauss said I had something
that was very good. He said I had a good motor-vation. I never even knew I had that. I
felt proud when he said that not every body with an eye-q of 68 had that thing.
I dont know what it is or where I got it but he said Algernon had it too.
Algernons motor-vation is the cheese they put in his box. But it cant be that because I
didnt eat any cheese this week.
Then he told Dr
Nemur something I dint understand so while they were talking I wrote down some
of the words.
He said Dr Nemur
I know Charlie is not what you had in mind as the first of your new brede of
intelek** (coudnt get the word) superman. But most people of his low ment** are
host** and uncoop** they are usualy dull apath** and hard to reach. He has a
good natcher hes intristed and eager to please.
Dr Nemur said
remember he will be the first human beeng ever to have his intelijence trippled
by surgicle meens.
Dr Strauss said
exakly. Look at how well hes lerned to read and write for his low mentel age
its as grate an acheve ** as you and I lerning einstines therey of **vity
without help. That shows the intenss motor-vation. Its comparat** a tremen**
achev** I say we use Charlie.
I dint get all
the words and they were talking to fast but it sounded like Dr Strauss was on
my side and like the other one wasnt.
Then Dr Nemur
nodded he said all right maybe your right. We will use Charlie. When he said
that I got so exited I jumped up and shook his hand for being so good to me. I
told him thank you doc you wont be sorry for giving me a second chance. And I
mean it like I told him. After the operashun Im gonna try to be smart. Im gonna
try awful hard.
progris ript 5—Mar 10
Im 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 Im keeping my rabits foot with me.
I asked Dr
Strauss if I’ll beat Algernon in the race after the operashun and he said
maybe. If the operashun works I’ll show that mouse I can be as smart as he is.
Maybe smarter. Then I’ll 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. Im 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.
Progress Report 6—Mar 15
The operashun
dint hurt. He did it while I was sleeping. They took off the bandijis from my
eyes and my head today so I can make a PROGRESS REPORT. Dr Nemur who looked at
some of my other ones says I spell PROGRESS wrong and he told me how to spell
it and REPORT too. I got to try and remember that.
I have a very
bad memary for spelling. Dr Strauss says its Ok to tell about all the things that
happin to me but he says I shoud tell more about what I feel and what I think.
When I told him I dont know how to think he said try. All the time when the
bandijis were on my eyes I tryed to think. Nothing happened. I dont know what
to think about. Maybe if I ask him he will tell me how I can think now that Im
suppose to get smart. What do smart people think about. Fancy things I suppose.
I wish I knew some fancy things alredy.
Progress Report 7—Mar 19
Nothing is
happining. I had lots of tests and different kinds of races with Algernon. I
hate that mouse. He always beats me. Dr Strauss said I got to play those games.
And he said some time I got to take those tests over again. These
it most of all.
So I got scaird
