The Four Reasons I Run

These are the reasons I run.
One. A child is in danger and I need to save them.
Two. It is Black Friday.
Three. I see others running, and I feel fearful.
Four. There is a bear behind me thrashing around in the forest.
There is no other reason.

Oh, well, I always run for the ice cream truck! That's about it.
