A story about courage

My brother on the grassland is an expert in fighting wolves. He has never held any official position. However, in the large-scale siege of wolves every autumn, he plays the role of "commander-in-chief", deploying troops and dispatching troops, and "strategizing and winning every battle." Usually it takes 5 to 10 horses and dozens of dogs to chase wolves by relay. Usually, you need to chase dozens of miles.

There are generally five or six dogs in my family, which are important helpers for grazing, especially at night.

There is a dog named "Gelige" (Mongolian means "courage") who enjoys special treatment among several dogs in the family. Always eating alone in a yurt. If we had let him compete with other dogs for food, he would have starved to death.

Usually, dogs are not allowed in yurts. Some dogs have never been in a yurt. "Courage" is not only eaten in the bag, but also often lies in the bag.

Dogs at home will fight with each other. Dogs from all walks of life will meet from time to time and are more likely to fight. On all these occasions, "courage" shows no courage and is very timid.

My brother ran hundreds of miles to pick up this dog from herders in other communes. I watched it grow. I know it is of German descent several generations ago, and I also know that my brother likes it very much for a reason. But for a long time, I was skeptical.

Later, I finally understood why I was favored in hunting. I have witnessed real courage.

Hunting every year, often a dozen dogs surround a wolf, and finally let the wolf run away. This time, many dogs surrounded a wolf who had been exhausted by continuous pursuit. This wolf is very big. Courage bit the wolf's throat. I saw the wolf shaking his head and waving his "courage" around like an adult waving a child. However, "courage" gripped the wolf's throat tightly. My brother dismounted and rushed up and hit the wolf's crown with a huge and heavy whip. The wolf fell.

On the grassland, almost all dogs have had countless close contacts with wolves. But ... in 100, 95 dogs have never really bitten a wolf in their lives. Many of them are heroes fighting against their own kind.

Through Courage, I know that courage is hereditary, not cultivated.

Disasters are sad, but they can also make heroes. They have different occupations, different ages and different life backgrounds, but they have the same calm and courage when facing problems. The latest issue of Time magazine tells us four stories about courage in disaster: the protagonists are a taxi driver who won the lottery, an ordinary person in a community, a priest and a 6-year-old child.

They call me little hero.

For a 6-year-old child, heroism is not doing anything earth-shattering. Three days after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, Katrina Williams decided to evacuate her flooded home. When a small rescue helicopter finally landed on the roof of Williams' house, the pilot told Katrina that he had to take some children first and pick up the adults later because there were not enough seats. Although she didn't want to be separated from the children, watching the rising flood, Katrina tearfully put her 6-year-old son demont and her 5-month-old son Daroni on the helicopter, as well as their two cousins and three neighbors' children, ranging in age from 14 months to 3 years old. Six-year-old demont naturally became the king of children among them.

Desmond was very excited about his first helicopter trip. He said, "It's really loud. When I looked down, I found that all the houses were not underwater. Those children cried in a mess, but I didn't cry. " When the helicopter landed on the high-lying Cosway Street, the children got lost in the chaos, but demont kept a cool head and showed great courage. He clung to his brother Darroni and let the children in diapers hold hands one by one. When rescuers found them, seven children were not separated and no one was injured. Rescuers sent them to temporary shelters, thinking they were orphans.

In the shelter, demont did another amazing thing. The 6-year-old boy told his parents' names, addresses, telephone numbers and many useful information to the staff. Finally, seven children were reunited with their parents in San Antonio. Speaking of her son, mother Katrina said, "When I heard what he did, I was surprised and proud of him. I told him that he was a little hero. " "It feels good for people to call me a hero," Desmond said. Now demont goes to primary school in San Antonio. He said that he likes art, science and basketball. Maybe one day, he will become an excellent official of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Dive in a hurricane to discharge pollutants.

The ceiling of Richard Jones's house in Biloch West, Mississippi moved down, which meant that the roof of his house was swept away by the hurricane, but Jones thought it was good news. On the afternoon of August 29th, Hurricane Katrina landed on the coast 0.8km away from Jones' home, setting off a huge wave 30 meters high. Jones, a 53-year-old high school history teacher, knows that the flood will soon flood into the urban area from Biloch West Bay, but he is most worried that the debris brought by the flood will block the sewers in the urban area and make people like him who live inland be swallowed up by the flood.

At this time, Jones's hobby gave him the courage to act-he fell in love with diving six years ago. When the flood came, Jones immediately put on his diving suit and scuba gear and resolutely walked into the gale at a speed of 160 km/h. Jones, who usually dives on the calm Florida coast, said, "My biggest concern is not what is underwater, but being hit by debris brought by strong winds. But those floods are really dirty and smelly. " But Jones still dived. He found the sewer entrance in the rushing flood and cleaned it up.

When the flood began to recede, hundreds of houses in the western city of Bilohe were destroyed and dozens of people were killed, but the Jones family and nearby neighbors were not greatly affected. Sharon Parker, a neighbor of Jones, said that thanks to Jones, her family 13 survived. Parker said, "We saw Richard dressed up and walked into the water. The children think this is very interesting, but we all know that he saved our home. " Jones said, "I just did what I thought I should do for my family and neighbors, and I happen to have such equipment and ability." In the hurricane, the Jones family lost $30,000, and they had to replace the roof again. Parker said that enthusiasm is Jones' consistent style. After the hurricane, Jones asked his brother in Florida to send frozen food, steak and other things to share with his neighbors. Parker said, "Even in normal times, you can't find a better neighbor than him. But what he has done has gone beyond the scope of a good neighbor, and we are all very surprised and grateful. "

3 From small people to "mayor of earthquake"

For the victims of the earthquake in South Asia, Isanura Khan is a rescuer from far away. This Pakistani immigrant was originally a taxi driver in Washington, and he pinned his dream on winning the lottery. Interestingly, Khan always buys the same set of numbers: 2, 4, 6, 17, 25 and 3 1, because he has seen these numbers in his dreams. In this way, from 65438 to 2005, Khan used this set of numbers to make pious bets almost every week, but none of them succeeded. Until 200 1, 1 1, the cumulative prize money of the lottery reached 55.2 million dollars, and Khan's lucky number finally "appeared". At this time, Khan remembered what his mother said to him before he died: "Son, if you become a big shot one day, you should be like a king."

Khan, 47, can't be king, but after paying taxes, he still has a huge sum of $3249939.24 in his pocket. At this time, Khan decided to return to his hometown of Batagram at the foot of the Himalayas to run for police chief or mayor. 654381October 8, just three days after Khan became the mayor of Batagram, a major earthquake measuring 7.6 on the Richter scale occurred there. That morning, Khan was walking on a muddy road, preparing to go to his mother's grave, when a strong earthquake knocked him to the ground. Khan said: "I thought the end of the world was coming, and the ground under my feet suddenly cracked and almost swallowed me up." The injured Khan groped his way to the hospital, only to find that the hospital was gone and turned into pieces in the earthquake. At the same time, thousands of people poured into the streets, holding, carrying and dragging injured relatives, desperately looking for a hospital. At this time, Khan decided to spend $200,000 to buy all medicines and bandages he could buy, recruit all local people who had received basic first aid training, and set up a temporary hospital, which was open to the injured free of charge. For those seriously injured, Khan also arranged an ambulance to take them to a hospital 42 kilometers away.

After the earthquake, Khan bought 65,438+050 tents for the homeless and allowed them to camp on their own land. At the same time, he also set up a foundation to help the victims rebuild their homes.

A priest who saved 70 lives.

On February 26th, 2004, at 9 am, when the tsunami hit Tirukwarville, the eastern city of Sri Lanka, Reverend Ranjivan Xavier was attending a mass of believers at St Joseph's Church. Xavier, an experienced priest, immediately asked the believers to evacuate to higher ground, rolled up their robes and ran to the beach hundreds of meters away.

Pastor Lan Wanji, 30, said, "I found a woman lying on the fence almost immediately. Her long hair was entangled in barbed wire and she couldn't move at all. There have been floods here before, but I have never seen such a big wave. I picked up the woman, put her on the dry high ground, and then folded it back. " Soon, most of Tirukville was flooded with seawater, and naked bodies were scattered everywhere-powerful waves swept away the clothes of the victims. On that day, Pastor Lan always rescued more than 70 people and more than 200 bodies from the water. He said: "When the tsunami came, everyone was looking for their mother or children. As a priest, it is appropriate to save people. "

In Sri Lanka, the area around Ampala was the hardest hit. Of the 38,000 victims in China, 1000 came from Ampala, of which 6,000 came from Tirukwar, a town with a population of only 60,000. Pastor Lan Wanji said that he buried 750 people in two mass graves near the beach. It took him about a week to deal with the problem about the dead. After that, Pastor Lan Jiwan cooperated with rescue organizations, distributed his own pamphlets about tsunami knowledge, and patrolled at night to prevent robbery and other illegal phenomena. In addition, he helped to establish a teacher training institution, a boarding school, a nursery and a nutrition center. Pastor Ranjiwan even encouraged the children to go to the seaside again.

Pastor Ranjiwan believes that the tsunami has also brought good things. For example, all kinds of relief materials poured into this poor area. The disaster made people of different religions more integrated and gave Sri Lanka a chance to end the 22-year civil war.
