There was a brave boy. He was on a school trip to a historical site. Suddenly, there was an earthquake. While others were panicking, he remembered all the safety instructions. He quickly led his classmates to a safe open area. Then he noticed that one of the teachers was trapped under some rubble. Without a second thought, he started to move the stones carefully. With great effort, he managed to free the teacher. His bravery made him a hero among his schoolmates.
