Lisa Sweeney is a 32-year-old mail carrier in Staten Island, New York. Four months ago, she noticed that something wasn't right at one of the homes on her rote. It was her quick action that made all the difference.
One afternoon in August, an old woman named Mari e Boyer, who lived alone, fell at the foot of the stairs in her home. She was just lying unconscious(昏迷的) on the floor.
The next afternoon, her re gular mail carrier, Lisa Sweeney, passed by and noticed something unusual. Though she and Marie hadn't had much conversation over the years, Lisa knew her habits. She was surprised not to see Marie working in her garden, because she usually spent most afternoons there when the weather was fine.
I just had a feeling in my heart that Marie was inside. "Lisa recalls. She went straight round to the back of the house, thinking that the old woman might be in the kitchen, but she didn't find anybody there. Puzzled, Lisa returned to the front of the house and knocked bar d on the door. There was no answer. She thought that this was very strange, so she knocked on a neighbor's door, but he'd been away on vacation and arrived home just a short time before so he didn't know anything. Just then Lisa noted that Mane's bottle of milk, which was delivered early in the morning, was still on the doorstep. It was a clear warning sign.
