How wonderful in these days of I’m all right jack, we see something really wonderful and courageous. Young six year old Billy Bates was on holiday and playing in a pool with arm bands on when he saw another young 4 year old lad out of his depth and in trouble. He was going under and waving his hands about as he sank.
What did young Billy do? He knew another young child was in trouble and although he could not swim himself he doggy paddled to the young lad and grabbed hold of his waist and kept the lad’s head above water until help arrived.
Young Billy’s comment, I was a bit scared, I wanted to help him.
Help him, the child’s dad said he saved his life.
Young Billy deserves a commendation. When he is older he will have something to remember with pride.
If this isn’t a lesson for us all I don’t know what is.
Wouldn’t the world be a better place if only there were more young Billies about.
