“One day, there was this windy sound - all vacuum-cleaner-like. And would you believe, a blue box of wood flew right out of the sky! My legs carried me right up to it, but I didn’t know what to think. My birthday was coming up, but surely mama couldn’t afford such a nice gift! Well soon enough, a person stepped out. Now, he was a real funny man. Legs longer than a giraffe’s and the floppiest hair I’ve ever laid my eyes upon. He waved a special silver pencil all around my face, then asked if I liked running.
Now, I’ve been running with the Doctor ever since. He’s a real strange man - likes to wear a bow around his neck and hats of all sorts - but he couldn’t be nicer to me. We’ve had lots of fun adventures, he and I. And I’ve learned lots of lessons from him, like there ain’t no such as an un-special person and that it’s OK for adult me to still act like a child sometimes. Since I started traveling with the Doctor, I’ve gotten so much more brave; smarter, too. Mama says she’s real proud.”

Well, I didn’t know what to think - I wasn’t expecting a mail delivery or nothing - so I just watched. Soon enough, a funny little man, with the floppiest hair I’ve ever laid my eyes upon, stepped out. He wore a blue bow tie and was waving about a silver pencil, like he was trying to fix something. And then, that man smiled up at me, came on over to give my hand a nice firm shake, and asked if I liked running.

That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run. So, I ran to the end of the road. And when I got there, I thought maybe I’d run to the end of town. And when I got there, I thought maybe I’d just run across Greenbow County. And I figured, since I run this far, maybe I’d just run across the great state of Alabama. And that’s what I did. I ran clear across Alabama. For no particular reason, I just kept on going. I ran clear to the ocean. And when I got there, I figured, since I’d gone this far, I might as well turn around, just keep on going. When I got to another ocean, I figured, since I’d gone this far, I might as well just turn back, keep right on going.
