clipped from: sport.guardian.co.uk The plane was so big and frightening, and I closed my eyes. My family didn't want me to come to England because they never saw a plane before.
Our elders told us we can do the marathon because we have been running all over, killing a lion and herding cattle. I sometimes run for two or three days with my cattle, and I have to protect them from lions. We can help the village by raising money to drill for clean water, so all of us have trained hard.
