The early bird⁵

Another day I saw Namrata running. I said, “O God, Namrata is running so slowly.” But after two minutes she was even farther away from me.

Then I saw somebody in front of Namrata. I said, “Somebody is running much faster than Namrata.” The person looked like Lucy, but I said, “She usually does not run at this hour. How can it be Lucy?” She was far ahead of me, and she turned down a side street, so I did not see who it was.

Then, when I was coming back, I saw that it was Lucy. I smiled at her and talked to her for a minute. At that hour for Lucy to run!
