I walk down the street
 

A TINY BOOK OF LEARNING TO GET AROUND

CHAPTER 1
I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost. I am hopeless. It isn't my fault. It takes forever to find a way out.

CHAPTER 2
I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don't see it. I fall in again. I can't believe I am in the same place. But, it isn't my fault.

CHAPTER 3
I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there. I still fall in. It's a habit. My eyes are open. I know where I am. It is my fault. I get out immediately.

CHAPTER 4
I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

CHAPTER 5
I walk down another street.
