After making sure Ava was okay, Bauer got out of his car to e if anyone needed help. As he headed toward the shaking truck, its pasnger informed him of a heart-wrenching sight — a very young child was floating in the bay. “I looked over and saw the car at, and then about six feet away from the car at, I saw the little girl floating perfectly on her back, arms moving, legs kicking.” Bauer said, as reported by WJLA.
Scanning the water for nearby boats that might be able to help, Bauer found none clo by.
When he turned his attention back to the little girl, he saw she was in trouble. “She had turned over onto her stomach and her face was in the water,” he said.
Bauer yelled to his daughter to pull over the first firefighter or paramedic (护理人员) she saw. Then he simply took off his shoes and jumped in, feet first.
Surfacing without injury, he swam to the child, who appeared to be only half-conscious. Lifting the child over his shoulder, he patted her back to force the water our of her system. Moments later, boaters Joe and Alayna Oertel who had witnesd the events arrived. After pulling them to safety, the Oertels rushed the pair to the place where they were met by waiting paramedics.

（B）
Over the years, I’ve been guilty of hastily shutting the front door to many strangers when they came knocking with the intention of lling things. But earlier this year, around Easter time, a dear friend of mine had an experience that changed my mind and perception towards the “intruders” .
Linda, who recently moved to a new neighbourhood, had been houbound all week suffering from a vere ca of flu when, early one morning, there was the terrible knock on her front door. Peering out the window, she saw two young ladies demurely( 端 庄 地 ) holding leaflets and a TV t model. She knew of a large TV t establishment nearby and assumed a message was about to be gently delivered. “This is the last thing I need t
oday,” she muttered to herlf and hesitantly opened the door.
Coughing, she poked her head out and impatiently informed them she wasn’t the slightest bit interested in any TV whatsoever. Furthermore, she added, she was feeling quite unwelll and abruptly shut the door. The ladies politely turned and left in silence.
A few hours later, another knock. Linda glanced out the window and to her surpri, there were the same two ladies, back again. Really annoyed this time, she opened the door ready togive them a piece of her mind. Before she could speak, with concerned looks on their faces, the women handed Linda what looked to be a dish, saying, “We’re so sorry we disturbed you earlier. We thought you may like this homemade chicken soup. Hopefully it might make you feel a little better.”
Linda was taken aback by this lovely gesture. Being new to the area, she didn’t know many neighbours or people who储物间英文 couldmik 茅坑assist her with shopping or errands(跑腿) so the gesture was all the more appreciated. She could only smile sheepishly and sincerely thanked them. With that, the ladies left.
After she related this story to me, I thought about how touching this deed really was. Especially in today’s world where sadly, kindness and thoughtfulness em so rare. I also realized that thinking about others and showing kindness is the real esnce of love.
