    More About the Fastest Boy in the World

    MORE ABOUT THE FASTEST BOY IN THE WORLD HOW I CAME TO WRITE THE BOOK In 1968 I was living in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. One morning I went out to the airport to meet a friend off her plane. I went upstairs in the terminal building for a cup of coffee, and looking out of the window, I was startled to see a lion sitting on the tarmac outside the airport building. "What's that doing there?" I asked someone. "Doesn't anyone realise?" "Didn't you know?" I was told. "Abebe Bikila, our champion runner, is about to arrive home from the Olympic Games in Mexico. The Emperor has sent the lion to greet him. His Majesty will soon be here himself." And true enough, a short while later, a Rolls Royce appeared, and out stepped Emperor Haile Selassie, King of Kings, Elect of God, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah. He took no notice of the lion, and the lion took no notice of him. A few weeks earlier, I'd been presented to the Emperor. I'd been ushered forwards to where he sat on a makeshift throne at an outdoor ceremony. He was a short man, quite tiny in fact, but he had more dignity and charisma than anyone I had ever met in my life. I bowed, he said a few words to me in French, nodded graciously, and an usher moved me on. The plane landed, and Abebe Bikila appeared at the door of the aircraft. He was the first Ethiopian ever to have won a gold medal at the Olympic Games.
