How does david Wilson get his nickname "puddn'head"?

English

kumpel [21]3 years ago
6 0
He earns his nickname (and dooms his future law practice) from a remark he makes shortly after arriving in the town. Hearing a dog barking and yelping, he comments that he wishes he owned half of the dog. When asked why he desired this, he replies that he would kill his half. This remark struck the townspeople as completely moronic - if Wilson killed half of the dog, surely the other half would expire as well. Thus, if he is going to kill the entire dog, why only wish for half? The town was convinced that Wilson was a fool, and from that day forward he was stuck with the nickname "Pudd'nhead."

Why is it important to tell a new friend about a disability? Use in your own words.
Semmy [17]

I think it's important to tell a new friend who doesn't know about the disability that you or someone has because if they say or do something it can get defensive triggered or they might just not understand what you're coming from
