A 5-year-old fell into a well, and a young woman’s actions led to the youngster’s rescue. The girl heard a cry for help and sprang into action, not wasting any time. Watch the short but powerful clip about a young lady coming to the rescue of a child who had fallen into a well.
Children are supposed to be outside, playing and enjoying the great outdoors. Childhood is the time when youngsters should be able to live carefree and simply have fun. They should be outside exploring and learning. That’s what being a child and childhood are all about, right?
However, our world is a dark and dangerous place where even children can be easily injured or worse. Sadly, it seems that children have to be on alert, aware of the dangers that lurk around nearly every corner. A clip posted on YouTube shows how a little one was outside playing when disaster struck, but luckily, a hero was nearby.
The clip explains that a 5-year-old boy was playing outside, running around in the yard, when he fell into a well. The well, the video states, was massive, 30 feet deep. Soon after the child fell into the well, the boy’s mother began screaming and crying out for help, and an 11-year-old girl heard them. That’s when she wasted no time, acting quickly and retrieving a ladder.
The 5-year-old was able to grab hold of the ladder and climb out. Miraculously, the video states that the boy only suffered a few minor cuts and scratches.
That was a situation that could have easily been much worse. The 11-year-old girl is a true hero, racing to the scene to help the child and his mother.
In life, we will encounter situations and circumstances that might seem unbearable and as if there is no hope. Thankfully, our Lord and Savior can take those situations and bring about something beautiful.
Philippians 2:3 “Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves.”
