Reading
Walid Abd El-Kader
Walid Abd El-Kader was seventeen when he had a terrible
accident. He fell under a tram when he was walking home from
school. Walid lost a leg and an arm in the accident. In hospital, he
thought he would rather die, but slowly he got better. One day, a
swimming teacher visited Walid and said, When you leave the
hospital, could I help you? Walid asked, Yes, can you teach me

to walk? The teacher replied, The hospital will do that. Id

rather teach you to swim. After Walid left the hospital, the
teacher taught him how to swim. First, Walid learned to swim one
hundred metres, then two hundred, then three hundred. Soon he
became a fantastic swimmer. Then, in 1990, Walid did a very
brave thing. He swam 50 kilometres across the sea from England
to France. Six years after swimming to France, Walid went to
America to take part in the 1996 Paralympic Games. He won a
medal in swimming.
