Read and analyze
One sunny Saturday morning, as usual, Tom was reading a newspaper to his old neighbour Mrs Bell in her garden. Suddenly Mrs Bell cried out and put her hand to her heart.
“Mrs Bell, are you okay?” asked Tom, very worried.
“I think I’m having a heart attack!” she said in a weak voice. Her face turned pale, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
A heart attack! Tom was shocked, but the eleven-year-old boy took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. He remembered a lesson he had learned in a summer camp. In an emergency, you must stay calm.
Who could he turn to for help? Mrs Bell lived alone, so there was nobody around. His parents were out shopping for the old lady.
He quickly took out his phone and called the emergency number.
He told the operator clearly where Mrs Bell lived and what had happened. The operator said an ambulance was on its way.
“Tom, get me the blue bottle by my bed,” said Mrs Bell. Tom ran into the house and got Mrs Bell’s heart pills. She took one.
When the ambulance arrived, two doctors gave Mrs Bell first aid at once. One of them said, “You must be the boy who called us.” Tom nodded. “Well done!” the doctors said.
After they left for the hospital, Tom thought to himself, “Mum often says she is happy to be a rainbow in someone’s cloud. Now I seem to understand what she means.”
