But would he do it with a fox?
Would he do it in a box? (presumably in place)
Would he do it here? or there?
Would he do it everywhere?

Ooops. Sorry. Couldn't resist. After 4 kids, I think I've read one two many Dr. Seuss books.

As to the more serious presentation:

I love #2, because you know he must have had those moments of needing to escape the seeming finality of it all, and I love Shau're's take on it, and the link it creates to #3.

I can easily see #5 being the natural and unconscious result of watching his parents die, a desperate need to save, never to watch helplessly again.

I'm no longer a child - by any stretch of the imagination - but I've done #1 all my life. It came with the model, and having always been a little slightly pudgy thing (the daughter of a man who is 6'1" and under 160 lbs, and a serious runner), I've always felt like a thoroughbred trapped in a donkey's body.

Go, Daniel, go! Run! Run!
