'You want to run away?' Mr Sir asked him.

Stanley looked back at him, unsure what he meant.

'If you want to run away, go ahead, start running. I'm not going to stop you.'

Stanley didn't know what kind of game Mr Sir was playing...'We don't need a fence. Know why? Because we've got the only water for a hundred miles. You want to run away? You'll be buzzard food in three days.'
