The braggart⁴²

As I was running the next day, a young man went ahead of me. Four men saw him run past. They said to me, “He is bragging. Don’t pay any attention.” The runner went four or five hundred metres ahead, while I continued slowly running. Then he stopped and began to walk. His bragging was over. I passed him. When I was returning from my run, he was still walking.
