Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a man named John. John was notorious for procrastinating and putting things off until the very last minute. One day, John came across a flyer for a marathon that was going to take place the next month.

Excited to participate, John told all his friends and family that he was going to run in the marathon. However, instead of starting his training immediately, John decided to relax and watch TV, telling himself that he would start training "tomorrow." He had been in the "tomorrow" mode for the whole of the month.

Finally race day came, and John woke up feeling nervous but determined. He put on his running shoes and headed out to start his training. However, as soon as he took his first step, he tripped and fell into a pile of mud.

Frustrated but not willing to give up, John got up and tried again, but this time he stumbled over a rock and twisted his ankle. With tears in his eyes, John decided that he was not cut out for running and went back home to nurse his injuries.

Feeling defeated, John realized that he should have started his training earlier, but he couldn't help but laugh at himself for thinking that he could start his training "tomorrow." From that day on, John learned his lesson and never put off anything until the last minute again.
