This document is about Bertie, a boy who used to have dirty habits like picking his nose, playing with slugs in the garden, and licking his dog. Bertie's parents would scold him when they caught him doing these things. Now Bertie is trying to stop his dirty habits, but he still secretly picks his nose when no one is looking.
