Andrew, a curious 6-year-old, attends a school presentation about emergencies led by a real 911 dispatcher. As he walks home, he encounters several situations that make him question what is truly an emergency. With guidance from his sister, Andrew learns the wisdom of identifying real emergencies, leading to a surprising discovery that solves his dilemma.
Andrew was excited for today's class. There was going to be a special presentation by a 911 dispatcher. He wondered what emergencies really were. - I hope we get to learn cool stuff today! he exclaimed to his friend. The presentation began, and he listened intently.
The dispatcher explained what emergencies are and when to call 911. Andrew was fascinated by the stories. - That sounds really important! he whispered to himself. But he wasn't too sure what counted as a real emergency. The day ended with Andrew feeling curious and a bit confused.
Walking home, Andrew saw a cat stuck in a tree. He remembered the dispatcher saying not every situation needs 911. - Should I call 911? he wondered aloud. He decided to think it over. The cat looked scared, and Andrew felt worried.
As he continued, Andrew saw a car parked with its lights on. - That's not an emergency, right? he asked himself. He thought about the dispatcher’s stories. - Maybe I should tell someone, he considered. But who?
At home, he told his sister about the presentation. - What's an emergency? he asked eagerly. She explained it with examples from her own experience. - So, a lost cat isn't an emergency? Andrew asked. - Not unless it's in danger, she replied.
The next day, Andrew saw a dog running loose on the street. - Is this an emergency? he thought. He chased after it, but the dog was too fast. Andrew felt helpless. - Maybe I should call 911, he pondered, unsure.
Andrew's friend told him about a lost turtle. - Is a turtle an emergency? his friend asked. Andrew wasn't sure anymore. Everything seemed urgent. - Maybe we should ask someone, he suggested.
Feeling overwhelmed, Andrew sat on a bench. - Everything seems like an emergency to me, he sighed. His mind was full of questions. He needed wisdom to sort it all out. - Maybe I'm just not good at this, he thought sadly.
His sister found him and sat beside him. - Why so glum? she asked. - I don't know what's an emergency, he admitted. She told him not to worry and that wisdom comes with time. - We'll figure it out together, she said encouragingly.
Andrew felt better but still unsure. - I don't get it, he confessed. His sister reminded him of the dispatcher's stories. - Think about the danger, she advised. Andrew nodded, trying to understand.
The next day, he saw a fire hydrant spraying water. - Is this an emergency? he wondered. He thought about the danger it could cause. - Maybe this time, I know what to do, he realized.
He found a police officer nearby. - There's a hydrant spraying water, he reported. The officer thanked him for letting them know. Andrew felt proud. - I did it! he thought with a smile.
Andrew learned that wisdom means knowing when to act. - It's all about thinking first, he told his sister. She smiled and agreed. Andrew felt wiser now. He had solved his own mystery.
From that day on, Andrew knew the difference between emergencies and non-emergencies. He felt prepared for anything. - I think I got it now, he said confidently. His sister winked, proud of his growth. Andrew had learned the true meaning of wisdom.
