“Can I catch the 10:35 train to London?” the man asked. He looked worried.

The old porter looked at him for a few seconds and said, “Well, sir. I’d like to help you, but I can’t answer your question because I don’t know how fast you can run.”　 Then he explained to the man, “The 10:35 train to London left five minutes ago. Can you run fast enough to catch it?”
