A 14-year-old boy from the USA was described as a hero yesterday after he saved the life of a girl in
another country.
Dean Bluey from Dallas, Texas, was a school boy who was interested in computer. One day, he was
sending an e-mail to a friend on the Internet. Suddenly he received a message saying "Help! Help! Help!"
The message was from Finland, thousands of kilometers way from the USA.
"I didn't know what I should do," Dean said to a reporter. "It was really difficult to tell if the message
was real." So Dean did nothing at first. But the message kept coming.
"By then it was easy to see that someone was in trouble," Dean explained. He replied and discovered
that the sender was a 20-year-old student called Tarja, who was alone in a university library. She was very
ill. What was worse, there was no phone around her. Her only way of communicating with the world was
by e-mail.
Dean got in touch with the Texas police. The police immediately realized that the situation was quite
serious. They found it necessary to call the police in Finland. Then an ambulance＊ rushed to the university,
and soon doctors found Tarja. Luckily, she was still alive and was quickly sent to the hospital.
"I'm glad she's OK," Dean said. "It's hard to believe, but e-mail saved her life." |
