Nobody else in his town could run as fast as he die.So John was very proud of it.One day a thief broke into his house, took something good and ran away as fast as he could.John ran after him,shouting,"Hey, stop!"But the thief ran even faster.John got so angry that he ran hardest.It was several miles away from his home.

"But where is the thied?" asked his friend."Miles and miles behind!" said John.
