The boy in this story faces many difficulties in his life. He was born with "water on the brain" and had to have surgery to remove the fluid at a very young age, which caused many problems. He has a really big head, huge feet and is very skinny. He also speaks with a stutter and a lisp. His appearance combined with his speech impediment made him a huge target for bullies. He was often beat up and called "retard". His family was also very poor. They would often have to skip meals as they did not always have enough money to buy food. He only had one true friend, his dog. But when his dog started to get very sick, his family did not have enough money to take the dog to the vet. His father had to shoot the dog to put it out of its misery, and the boy lost his only true friend. This boy faced a very rough childhood.
