Posted October 2, 201213 yr I think I can, repeated the boy. He was to optimistic to give up here. He was so close now. The finish was right there. So he kept fighting on. Competition, you ask? Oh no, no need to worry. The boy was to far ahead to worry about any kind of silly competition. This is what he had dreamed for. Nothing could stop him. I think I can, repeated the boy. His optimism has brought him this far, and he sees no sign of failing. Poor boy, says the bird flying over head. For the bird can see, all that the boy cannot. But what was it? What was it that the bird saw? As the boy approached the finish, all came to realization. There was a banana peel on the track.
