Good question!
Ol’ Dan’l is running because he wants to be one of the first to arrive at his local bookstore to pick up a copy of Daniel Boone’s Great Escape which is now on sale. He knows that if he isn’t quick, they will all be sold out and he doesn’t want to be disappointed.
The thing is, Ol’ Dan’l is pretty quick. You see Daniel Boone’s Great Escape tells the true story of how Boone ran 160 miles in just four days time to escape captivity. So if you’re going to beat him you’d better get started!
I’m just sayin!
