Children from the neighborhood lined both sides of the street to get a good view. Off in the distance, at the finish line, stood the very tall judge, Mr. McFarland. Luigi and Mikey took off their shoes, stretched out their long, skinny toes, and walked up to the starting line. Mr. McFarland held up a bright red flag.“On your marks, get set, GO!”Mr. McFarland dropped the flag and the barefoot boys bolted off the line.
