Barbara was driving her
six-year-old son, Ben, to his piano lesson. They were late, and Barbara was
beginning to think she should have called it off. Barbara, a nurse at the local
hospital, was very tired at that moment. The coldest season and the terrible
weather just brought them more difficulties.
"Mum!" Ben
cried suddenly. "Look!" Just ahead,a car had lost control on the icy
road and crashed (猛撞)into a telephone pole. Barbara
stopped her car quickly and opened the door. She said to Ben, "Dear,
promise me you'll stay in the car!" "I will, Mum," Ben said as
his mum ran. She was a nurse-she might be able to help the unlucky people
It was terrible. Two
girls aged about 18 were in the car. One was dead and the other was still
breathing. Barbara quickly cleaned the wounds in the driver's head. Ben called
for help on his mum's phone. Soon an ambulance came." Good job, Barbara!
You've saved her life," one doctor said as he examined the driver's wounds.
Barbara walked back to her car with a feeling of sadness, especially for the
family of the girl who had died. Later, Barbara was able to meet the family of
the driver. They expressed their thanks to Barbara for the help she had
provided.
