At 13, Ringo caught a cold which turned into pleurisy, putting Ringo back into the hospital and further behind in his schoolwork. Ringo became quite unhappy with his schooling situation. He couldn't read very well, and was put in a class with kids much younger than he was. When Ringo finally got out of the hospital, he was seriously behind in his schoolwork. Richard remained in the hospital for around another year, putting him behind in his education. As little Richie leaned out of the bed to give his bus to the other boy, he fell.hitting his head and knocking himself into a coma.

One was a red bus, the other was a small drum.Ringo's first drum! Ringo kept himself well occupied with the drum, but upon noticing the lonely boy in the bed next to him, Ringo decided to give up the pretty red bus. Ringo became quite bored and even a bit lonely when he was in the hospital, so his parents brought him two toys to keep him entertained. He entered the hospital for the first time at six years of age for a bout of appendicitis. Richard was a happy child despite the various hospital visits that filled much of his life. Ringo's mother later married Harry Graves, who Ringo called his 'step ladder'. When little Richie was three years old, his parents broke up. Ringo's parents met in this bakery, and later married. His father was a Liverpool dock worker, and his mother worked in a bakery. The oldest Beatle (three months older than John) was born in a two-story house in the Dingle area to Richard and Elsie Starkey. Richard Starkey was born on Jin Liverpool, England.
