Part 3/7:
Progressively, Albert began to receive stricter guidelines. Punishments were introduced for hitting the ground with anything but his feet, reinforcing the need for proper walking behavior. It became clear that Albert’s 'worm' technique would not suffice in the upcoming rooms, filled with opportunities for further instruction.
Despite initial attempts being less than graceful, something remarkable happened. With practice, Albert began to learn how to balance. His first step—though awkward—marked a pivotal moment in his journey. From there, he surprisingly began to skip, rather than walk. Though skipping was an improvement over the worm, it still deviated from the fundamental goal of walking.
