Slowly he turned the pages

Slowly he turned the pages, scanning the pictures and the
text for a repetition of the combination B-O-Y.  Presently he
found it beneath a picture of another little ape and a strange
animal which went upon four legs like the jackal and resembled
him not a little.  Beneath this picture the bugs appeared as:

              A BOY AND A DOG

There they were, the three little bugs which always accompanied
the little ape.

And so he progressed very cheap oakleys, very slowly, for it was a hard
and laborious task which he had set himself without knowing
it--a task which might seem to you or me impossible--learning
to read without having the slightest knowledge of letters or
written language, or the faintest idea that such things existed.

He did not accomplish it in a day fake oakley fives squared sunglasses, or in a week, or in a
month, or in a year; but slowly, very slowly, he learned after
he had grasped the possibilities which lay in those little bugs,
so that by the time he was fifteen he knew the various
combinations of letters which stood for every pictured figure
in the little primer and in one or two of the picture books.

Of the meaning and use of the articles and conjunctions, verbs
and adverbs and pronouns he had but the faintest conception.

One day when he was about twelve he found a number of
lead pencils in a hitherto undiscovered drawer beneath the
table replica oakley fives squared sunglasses, and in scratching upon the table top with one of them
he was delighted to discover the black line it left behind it.

He worked so assiduously with this new toy that the table

top was soon a mass of scrawly loops and irregular lines and
his pencil-point worn down to the wood cheap oakley fives squared sunglasses.  Then he took another
pencil, but this time he had a definite object in view.
