Question

John Smith is an old porter. He works at the railway station. Every day he is busy carrying heavy things for passengers（乘客）. He is kind to everyone and always ready to help others.

One morning, John stood in the station. A train was coming. He was waiting for it. Just then he saw a man running in the station with a big bag in his hand.

“No train is starting. Why is he in such a hurry?” the old man thought to himself.

John went up to the man and asked, “May I help you?”

As soon as the man saw the old porter, he stopped running.

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

John 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 continued, “The 10:35 train to London left five minutes ago. Can you run fast enough to catch it?”
