The excerpt foreshadows that Charlie may start acting differently as well. The mention of Algernon's refusal to work and the strange behavior of other animals involved in the experiment suggests that Charlie might experience similar changes or regressions as a result of the experiment he underwent. The connection made between Charlie and Algernon implies that their fates may be linked.
