A man saves a child – level 1

A man saves a child

28-04-2026 07:00

Robert Butler is a worker in Arizona. One day, he sees a small child near a busy road. The child is alone. The child runs toward the cars.

The cars move very fast. Robert stops his truck and runs to the child. He catches the child and saves his life. Robert is a father. He has a small son. He feels very happy because the child is safe. He cries when he talks about the story. He knows that children run very fast. The parent of the child is very happy. The child is home now, and everything is good.

This is a beautiful story. Robert is a hero. He says that every driver must look at the road. We must help other people every day.

Difficult words: busy (a place with many cars or people), alone (when there are no people with you), hero (a person who does something great to help or save others).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

Why does Robert feel very happy after rescuing the child?
