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 injuried 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.
