He looked at the clock. "I am late!" he wailed.

Jake was late for the big game! He did not want to let his teammates down!

Jake grabbed his bag and ran down the driveway.

He raced past the shops in town.

He ran by the swings at the playground.

He waved at some teenagers as he ran.

Jake had to stop at the railway and wait as a train passed.

When the train left, he darted back on the trail and picked up his pace.

At last, he made it to the game and took his place at home plate!
