Sixth Grade Boy Is a HERO!!!

On Tuesday, Sam Parks, a sixth grade student at Sunny View Public

School, was riding his bike home from school without a care in the world

when he became the hero of the day. Mrs. Linwood’s tabby cat Falco was

stranded at the top of her giant fence. The cat was meowing and screaming

like an injured lion. Sam could not ignore its screams and without a thought

for himself, Sam scaled the fence in one leap and carried the cat to safety.

Mrs. Linwood thankfully hugged Sam as the cat gazed up at Sam in awe and

appreciation. “That boy is a true hero,” said Mrs. Linwood. “Without his

assistance, my Falco would have been stuck on that fence until next winter.”

The Real Story

Sam Parks, sixth grade student at Sunny View School, was riding his

bike home from school Tuesday. He heard a strange noise and discovered

that Mrs. Linwood’s tabby cat had gotten stuck on top of her three-foot

high white picket fence. Sam walked over, reached up, and lifted the cat

down to the ground. Mrs. Linwood thanked him for helping the cat, named

Falco. “What a helpful boy,” she said to reporters.
