John was driving to work one day. At a busy intersection, he saw a man on a motorcycle. He had a small child sitting behind him. The child seemed sleepy, and kept jerking awake. As John watched, the child’s hold slackened. He slipped nearly sideways, half off the bike! Luckily, the light turned red at that moment, so the motorcycle came to a stop. John knew he had to act quickly, before traffic began to flow again. He dashed out of his car, weaving his way between vehicles, till he reached the motorcycle. He was just in time, because the lights turned green and the child slipped right off the bike! John managed to catch the child and thus, saved his life. The other motorists saw what happened and stopped. The man on the motorcycle finally noticed what had happened. He thanked John, promising never to let the child ride so dangerously behind him again.
