Peter joined the school fun
run; his desire is to win so he didn't
mind if he was stepping on water
wherein his feet got soaked. Even if
this made him uncomfortable
because his feet were very itchy, he
didn't do anything but remove his
socks that evening.
He hanged his pair of socks to
dry and immediately went to sleep
because he was so tired.
