Kyle and his family have moved to a new town, so Kyle has had to leave all of his old friends behind. Kyle is very shy at his new school and doesn't talk much to the kids who try to talk to him. After school, Kyle has no one to play with, so he starts running around the neighborhood for an hour each day. The neighborhood kids and Coach Benny notice how fast Kyle is running. One Saturday, Coach Benny asks Kyle to come to soccer club practice, telling him that all the teams want Kyle to join. Kyle realizes that while he thought he was running away from his problem of not having friends, he actually ran towards the solution.

When Kyle's family moved to a new town, Kyle had to leave all of his old friends behind. "You will make new friends," his mother told him. But Kyle wasn't so sure. In school, he was very shy, so even though some kids talked to him, Kyle didn't say much back. In the afternoons after school, he didn't have anyone to play with. So Kyle started running around the neighborhood. Every day he ran for an hour. Day after day, week after week, Kyle ran. The kids in the neighborhood noticed him. So did Coach Benny. They all said he was the fastest boy they had ever seen. One Saturday, Coach Benny knocked on Kyle's door. "Why don't you come with me to soccer club practice today, Kyle?" he said. "Everyone wants you on their team. I will introduce you to everyone." "I thought I was running away from a problem," Kyle told his parents later, "but I actually ran towards the answer!"
