What is more, they yanked with both hands and feet braced-just to make sure there was, no slip-up. There wasn't any.

But to see a 'guy, no matter how deeply and cordially you dislike him, turned into a whole flock- of goats, is too much. 4 fc This is especially true when you know that the guy is falling down because he's trying too hard.

It was Hack's tremendous urge to make good before the home folks, his burning desire to show them the flame burned bright as ever beneath that dirty shirt, that, made it possible for the fates to such a Roman holiday. And when an athlete starts bearing down too hard, he might just as well prepare to meet disaster.
