READER’S DIGEST :( Into flames)

About this story, I have learned two main details that people should remember. First of all, people are not free of accidents; like a good example is Pasley, the woman that went out of her house to buy a pizza with her three children, and when she was returning home a truck’s red rear gate loomed up out of the dust and filled the windshield. It was too late to stop; as a result, her three children were terrible injured because the van was completely destroyed. Like this story , you do not know when, where, and how you are going to have an accident, the only thing that you have to do is to take care of your live, and thinking about the risks around the world. Secondly, if someone has an accident do not worry because there are always people that will help you; for example, Errebo, who helped Pasley’s family, when she had that accident since he did not wait until the paramedics arrive, he alone picked up the three children and the mother. Like Errebo, there are a lot of people that put their lives in risk helping people in needs. To sum up, this story changed my perspective on live because accidents are in everywhere, but we have to take care of our lives, and we should help people that need our help.
