9-1-1, What's Your Emergency?
Sam, a 10-year-old with wavy brown hair, faces a crisis when he must learn the importance of calling 911 during emergencies. Through a series of challenges and mistakes, Sam discovers the wisdom needed to act calmly and effectively in critical situations.
Sam was playing in his backyard when he heard a loud crash from the neighbor's house. Smoke was rising, and it looked serious. Sam knew he needed to help, but he wasn't sure how. - What do I do? he wondered aloud. This was the beginning of a problem he had to solve: knowing when and how to call 911.
Sam ran inside to find his mom, but she wasn't home. He remembered his parents telling him to stay calm during emergencies. - I have to call 911, he told himself. But he was scared and didn't want to make a mistake. His hands shook as he picked up the phone.
Sam dialed 911, but when the operator answered, he froze. - Um, I... there's smoke, he stammered. He forgot to mention the address or what exactly was happening. The operator asked questions, but he didn't know the answers. Sam felt like he failed.
Sam's little sister, Lily, came in and saw him struggling. - What's wrong, Sam? she asked. He explained the situation, and she suggested going to the neighbor's house to find out more. - Maybe we can help, she said hopefully. Sam hesitated, but he knew he couldn't give up.
They ran over to the neighbor's yard, but found the gate locked. - How can we get in? Lily asked. Sam tried climbing the fence but slipped and fell. They were both scared now, unsure of what to do next. Sam felt like everything was going wrong.
Just then, their neighbor, Mr. Johnson, appeared from the side of the house. - It's okay, kids, he said. Sam was relieved to see him. Mr. Johnson explained that the smoke was from a barbecue that got out of hand, and he had already called for help. - Thank you for trying to help, he added.
Back home, Sam was still upset about freezing on the call. - I messed up, he told Lily. She reminded him that they learned something important today. - We know what to do next time, she said. Sam nodded, but he still felt he could do better.
Sam spent the next few days practicing what to say on a 911 call. He learned to clearly state the address and describe the emergency. - I got this, he told himself confidently. But he was still worried about what might happen if he had to call again.
One day, Sam's friend Jake came over and they talked about the incident. - I heard you tried to call 911, Jake said. Sam explained what happened and what he learned. Jake suggested they practice together, just in case. - It’s always good to be prepared, Jake said.
Even after all the practice, Sam still felt unsure. He wondered if he would ever be truly ready. - Maybe it's too much for me, he thought. He considered giving up on practicing. But he knew deep down that it was too important to ignore.
One evening, Sam's dad noticed his frustration and sat down with him. - What's bothering you, champ? he asked. Sam explained his worries about calling 911. His dad shared a story about a time he had to call 911 and how he was nervous too. - It's okay to be scared, but you can do it, his dad reassured him.
Inspired by his dad's story, Sam felt a new sense of courage. He realized that being prepared was the key to overcoming his fear. - I can do this, he said with newfound determination. He decided to practice one last time, this time feeling confident.
A few days later, Sam was at the park when a boy fell off the swings and couldn't get up. Sam knew this was the moment to act. He dialed 911 and calmly gave all the necessary information. - Help is on the way, the operator assured him. Sam stayed with the boy until help arrived, feeling proud of himself.
Afterwards, Sam felt a sense of accomplishment and relief. He realized that wisdom isn't about never being scared, but about being brave enough to act anyway. - I did it, he told Lily with a smile. From then on, Sam knew he could handle any emergency with calm and confidence.
