It wasn’t as if Percy disliked sports, but having no legs and arms certainly added a handicap to his performance; that is, until he discovered a new sport, one that he was actually quite adept at: He found that by rolling along the gym floor much like a football kicked haphazardly across an open field, he could get the boys on the basketball team to chase him as he rolled about on the lacquered floor of the gym, albeit with an astonishing amount of skill (except when he got tired), the only problem being that his nose very often got bloodied in the process or else when extremely well-aimed kicks would land on his groin, face, stomach, his backside, his side, the back of his head, his ears, or on his mouth.
