那一天，不知什么原因，我決定出去跑一趟，所以我跑到路的盡頭。當我到達那里，我想也許我能跑到城邊；而當我到達那里，我想也許我能跑遍綠茵縣；這時我想既然我跑了那么遠，也許我可以跑遍亞拉巴馬州。我就這么做了。我橫越整個亞拉巴馬，不知什么原因，我繼續跑，我一直跑到大海；當我到達那里，我想既然我跑了那么遠，也許不如掉頭繼續跑，然后當我跑到另一個大海；我想既然我跑了那么遠，我也許不如掉頭，繼續跑下去。當我累了，我就睡覺；當我餓了，我就吃飯；當我想去…你知道…我就去。
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. Now, I figured since I'd 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. 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, might as well turn around, just keep on going. And when I got to another ocean, I figured since I'd gone this far... I might as well just turn back and keep right on going. When I got tired, I slept. When I got hungry, I ate. When I had to go... you know... I went.
