Yesterday I was going to school …

Yesterday I was going to school. On the way I saw a child in the middle of the road. A car was coming at full speed. I shouted at the boy, “Hey, mind the car!” to my shock, the boy did not hear to my warning.

It was too late to give him another warning. I dashed to the middle of the road, and pulled him towards me. The boy had a narrow escape. He just looked at me wonderingly. I shouted at him, ‘Are you mad? You could have run over by a car!’ again the boy did not respond! He just kept staring at me!

It then struck me, the boy could be suffering from hearing and speaking disabilities. I took him to the nearby police station and reported the matter to the inspector. As I was in the middle of this, a lady came running into the room and hugged the boy with tears streaming down her eyes.

The lady was the boy’s mother. She explained to the inspector how the boy had got lost in the crowd. The inspector also explained to the lady how I had saved the boy from getting hurt on the road.

The lady thanked me profusely. I went home feeling proud after doing the good deed.
