A very little hero
Thomas Castello, a three year old boy saved a whole family during a fire yesterday.
Thomas was playing in his big garden when he saw fire coming out of the guardian’s house, which is located 40 meters from his house. He thought it was interesting and went to see what it was. When he got to the door he heard his friend, the guard’s son, asking him to open the door, they were locked inside. Thomas did it and saved them.
“A little longer in there we would have suffocated” said Charlie Holmes, the guard. “I always have the keys with me I must have dropped them today”. After Thomas set the family free they called the firemen who came very quickly and put the fire down. The cause of the fire is attributed to a shortcut.
Susan, Thomas mother, says she was doing the laundry when everything happened, she said that Thomas couldn’t reach the door that leads to the garden before that day. Susan thought Thomas was playing with his cars in his bedroom but when she couldn’t find him anywhere in the house she went outside and saw fire, she run to see what was going on and saw Thomas opening the door of the guardian’s house, she took him and went to call the fire station.
“Everything happened so fast, I left Thomas in his bedroom and I took just a moment putting the clothes in the washing machine, and when I came back he was gone” said Susan. She said she was so upset because she couldn’t find Thomas but after she knew what he did she was very proud.
