Question

When I was much younger, one of my closest friends was Robinson Crusoe. As businessmen go, he was pretty good at his work. One day, he decided to sail to the East Indies to check his property. He told me that he would be gone for only a short time, but many years elapsed before I heard from him again.

ran many laps



set sail
