Last August we were on vacation at Diana's Baths, a place famous for waterfalls.
1on the rocks with my husband, I watched some parents nervously guarding their kids away from the rocks' edges (边缘). I felt glad that our 8 - year - old son Wyatt2look after himself.3, I still felt worried as I saw my boy jump and down.
Suddenly, I saw Wyatt sit down4two rocks in the running water, I shouted at him to get out. He shouted back something and then he disappeared over the edge.
"Help my son!" I cried, over and over again. But I only heard a woman saying," That boy just went over the waterfall!" She shouted at her husband, "Let's go home!" They walked away, not even looking back to see5or not my kid was OK.
By the time I climbed down to the rocks below, my husband6Wyatt out of the water with the help of a young woman. She said. "I'm Lisa, a nurse. I'm not leaving you. "She looked at me7, as if she were trying to take energy, love and strength (力量) in her body and pass them on to me. I held that energy like a rope that could pull us to safety. Wyatt was taken to the hospital8. After we spent a sleepless night there, we9Wyatt was going to be OK. We finally felt relaxed.
Meeting Lisa has reminded me how we need help from people we don't know. I know we are two strangers10are less strange.
Giving a hand can bring strangers closer together.
