　　Short and shy，Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team．"Football，tennis，Cricket—anything with a round ball，I was useless．"he says now with a laugh．But back then he was the object of jokes in school gym classes in England's rural Devonshire．
　　It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him．At first the teen went biking alone in a nearby forest．Then he began to cycle along with a runner friend．Gradually，Saunders set his mind on building up his body，increasing his speed，strength and endurance．At age 18，he ran his first marathon．

　　There were smiling children all the way．Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway，wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang．Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives．This is the simple village people of Maiaysia．I was moved．
　　I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car，so this was the first time I was on a train．I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread．I looked about the train．There was not one familiar face．I sighed and sat down to read my Economics．
　　It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia．Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore，so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past．As we went beyond the city，I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green．Then the first village came into sight．Immediately I came alive．I decided to wave hack．
　　From then on my journey became interesting．I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life．Then everything came alive．The mountains seemed to speak to me．Even the trees were smiling．I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time．
