A four-year-old girl walked five miles on a frozen(冻结的)river through the forest to ask for help after her grandmother suddenly died. The girl has been considered as one of the bravest in Siberia.
Living in a remote place, little Saglana Salchak woke early to hug her grandmother, but realized the 60-year-old woman was "cold". She then woke up her blind grandfather who feared his wife was dead. Not realizing it was only 6 a. m. and that it was still dark, he told Saglana to reach their nearest neighbors- five miles away- by walking along a frozen river in Siberia's Tuva region.
Though it was pretty cold outside and there were wolves on the way, the heartbroken girl spent three hours completing her difficult walk, and she told her neighbors, "It seems my grandma is dead. "Her neighbors had a mobile phone and helped her make a call.
Doctors rushed to her family but found the grandmother had died of a heart attack(心脏病发作). But they did save the girl's blind grandfather thanks to her great walk.
The Siberian Times said, "Saglana was sent to hospital, and doctors took good care of her, There was nothing wrong with her." One local said, "She was lucky to be alive, as there are many wolves along this way and they often hurt people."
