| Extracts from Walter's Festivals. Chapter 1 Walter the Paddler "As Walter grew older he always had to be doing things. If he had nothing to do he became bored and then started to do silly things... When that happened he was in trouble with his mother and father. That made them all unhappy and so his mother and father used to make sure that he always had plenty to do. They taught him to cycle, to go running and to make things.
While he was doing things he was never any trouble and he was always tired by the end of the day. His father was a
very wise man and each night, before Walter went to bed I , his father asked, "What have you done today, Walter, to
make the world a better place for others?'" |  |
| Chapter 4 Walter's Silent Bell and Special Cell "What is the secret in its shape?" asked the hildren. "We can see silent bell, but why do you call the clapper a 'special cell'? 'Well," said Walter, "The shape of the 'bell and cell' tells me that everyone of you is different. It helps me to understand other people. It tells me not to blame other people when things go wrong. It tells me first to ask why. It tells me about myself. It helps me to put the crew together in the right place. It helps me to use information and think like a scientist." |
Chapter 8 Walter the Coach Before science had found out 'what happens' many children had trained too hard and injured themselves, so that they couldn't carryo n training when they grew up. The 'Rest' is always needed for the muscle to change and get stronger. Working all the time means no improvement. Working hard, with rest, means slowly and continuously improving. "It is very nice if you get a medal," he said. "But you all win when you realise that competition is about improving. You have all improved since last year, so you are all winners." |
| Chapter 6 Walter's Clubhouse "I have seen many clubs start without any buildings, but by using what they can, and working with the people, they have done wonderful things. You see, the most important thing is always the people." |
