It was early in the morning, on a lonely road. It's
36 heavily. A 9-year-old boy was in the car with his mother, who was
37 him to school. Suddenly, the car went off the road,
38 several times, and came to rest upside down in a ditch(沟渠) filled with water.
Luckily, both the mother and son were
39 seatbelts. The mother suffered a blow to her head and was unable to move. The boy was frightened but
40 . As water came through broken windows in the car, he
41 unbuckled (解开) himself, climbed out of the
42 window, made his way around to the driver's side, and reached inside the
43 to free his trapped mother. With great effort, he managed to
44 her, pull her through the window and up to the road, where they were soon
45 .
His mother later recalled her experience of the
46 . Being unable to move or even
47 to offer instructions ( 指导) or encouragement to her son, she was
48 by her little son's action. She recalled
49 her boy saying out loud as he pulled her through the water, “I think I can, I think I can!”
It seemed
50 that this little boy's act of courage was from one of his favourite books: The Little Engine that Could. In that
51 , when everyone else had
52 hope, the Little Engine carried the heavy load of toys and good things to eat over the hill to the children waiting on the other side. He had
53 and took action. Obviously this book had left a
54 impression before the accident that rainy
55 and motivated ( 激励) the son to take action if the terrifying moments.
