A Brave Boy: Ratul, a ninth-grade student, bore witness to a harrowing scene
From the safe vantage point of his bedroom window, Ratul, a ninth-grade student, bore witness to a harrowing scene: a man lying inert on the street, seemingly abandoned and left for dead. Despite the potential danger posed by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Ratul could not turn a blind eye to the plight of the unconscious stranger. Overcoming his initial trepidation, he sprang into action by dialing the emergency services hotline at 999, requesting immediate aid from the police.
While waiting for the authorities to arrive, Ratul gathered his courage, donning a protective mask and gloves as he ventured into the throng of onlookers. Despite their entreaties and fears, he boldly approached the prone figure, determined to assess his condition and provide assistance. Shortly thereafter, the police arrived, accompanied by an ambulance, and hurried the stricken man to the hospital with Ratul by his side.
Upon reaching the hospital, the man was promptly examined by a physician, who informed Ratul of the grave extent of his injuries, noting that the man had suffered a minor stroke. Had Ratul not acted so swiftly, the consequences could have been dire. The doctors treated the man with utmost care and, at last, he regained consciousness.
Desirous of learning more about the unconscious stranger's identity, Ratul sought his address. The man could only provide a phone number for his son, which Ratul used to contact him, apprising him of the situation in full detail. The son, overcome with gratitude, rushed to the hospital posthaste to thank Ratul profusely for his valorous and selfless deed in saving his father's life despite the risks posed by the pandemic. The man himself joined his son in lauding Ratul's bravery, and prayed for his continued well-being.
With his conscience at peace and his heart swelling with satisfaction, Ratul returned home, knowing that he had made a difference in the world.
