Early one morning, Umar was walking to the bus stop to catch a bus to school. A loud,
screeching noise suddenly pierced the air. Umar realized that there had been an accident. A small boy
was lying unconscious on the road, and the car that had hit him had already run away.
Umar was confused and frightened. “Is the boy dead?” Umar asked himself. However, the boy
was still breathing. Umar could see that the boy had bruises all over his face and arms.
Umar did not know what to do. Few cars passed along this road at this time of the day. The
nearest house which he could go to for help was his own, but it would take ten minutes to walk there.
Umar finally decided to stay with the boy until somebody came by.
Time passed very slowly – so it seemed to Umar. The boy was still unconscious, and Umar
prayed for the boy to regain consciousness.
Umar sprang to his feet at the sound of an approaching car. He waved frantically at the driver to
stop. Umar asked the driver. ”You will help this boy, won ’t you, Sir?” The driver was kind. He carried the
injured boy to the car. Umar went with them to the hospital. Later, the driver took Umar to the police
station to report the accident.
Umar had a lot to tell to his friends that day at school. All his friends though Umar was a very
brave boy.” it was an unforgettable incident, wasn’t it?” They asked him.
“Yes, it was, “Umar replied.” it was a terrifying experience, thought!”
