Walter was a sweet little specially-abled child. But no one around him seemed to understand what he said, no matter how much he would gesture, shout or wave his arms around. Whenever he would try to pick something up, his hands would throw it to the floor. Or he would try to hug his mother, and end up shoving her away. All this made him feel very angry and powerless. Then, one day, Walter met Alice, a wonderful special little girl. She was the only person who understood his suffering. With great patience, she spent hours and hours teaching Walter how to control his hands and how to say words properly. Alice helped him understand how special they are. Walter and Alice were normal children like everyone else, but they were trapped inside disabled bodies. Alice took Walter to a nearby special school where Walter discovered that he could draw good pictures. And then, thanks to Alice, the doors of Walter’s prison were flung open.
