Frank was quite a fidget. Although he did well in school, he always helped his father with the housework. The boy was in the fifth grade and just loved all kinds of adventures. And the most interesting thing is that they found him. Almost at every step.
It was January. It was cold outside. Frank was just returning home after school. He didn’t really want to walk along the road, because it took longer. So he decided to take a shortcut and walked across the field. There was a river near the field. In summer, the boys often went there.
A few days ago, it snowed and froze. The water froze, so the river was covered with a thin layer of ice. But does a fifth-grader realize that the ice is too fragile?
At first, Frank confidently followed the path that led home. Suddenly, his curiosity led him to the ice, which cracked in a second.
The boy fell through the ice. He didn’t know how to swim, so he started fumbling around. When he realized that he could not cope on his own, he began to call for help. He was screaming with all his might.
A man walking his dog was passing by. He immediately rushed to help. He pulled Frank out of the water and took him home. As it turned out, the stranger who saved Frank did not know how to swim.
How he risked his own life like that, he does not understand. He saw the boy and rushed to his aid without hesitation.
