To the ER we go
Jaylan, a smart 9-year-old boy from North Little Rock, faces a big challenge when his big sister, Jalaya, gets injured. Jaylan must navigate a series of obstacles to help Alex get to the ER, learning the importance of tolerance and understanding along the way.
Jaylan was playing basketball with his best friend, Alex, on a sunny afternoon in North Little Rock. Suddenly, Alex tripped and fell hard, crying out in pain. Jaylan rushed over and saw Alex's ankle was swollen. He knew they had to get to the ER quickly. But Jaylan's parents were at work, and he didn't have a phone.
Jaylan decided to run to his neighbor Mrs. Thompson's house for help. She was always kind and helpful. But when he knocked on her door, she wasn't home. Jaylan felt his heart sink. He began to worry about how to get Alex to the ER.
Jaylan thought of another idea and ran back to Alex. He could try to flag down a car for help. However, car after car drove by without stopping. Jaylan felt frustrated and helpless. He glanced at Alex, who was wincing in pain.
- I don't know what to do, Jaylan said with tears in his eyes. - We'll figure it out, Alex replied, trying to stay brave. Jaylan considered giving up, feeling overwhelmed by the situation. He didn't want to fail his friend, but he felt out of options. - Maybe we should just wait here, Jaylan suggested, feeling defeated.
Just then, Mr. Patel, the local store owner, walked by and noticed the boys. - What happened? he asked. Jaylan explained everything, and Mr. Patel immediately offered to help. - Let's get Alex to the ER, Mr. Patel said, pulling out his phone to call for a ride. Jaylan felt a glimmer of hope as Mr. Patel made the call.
A few minutes later, a car arrived, and Mr. Patel helped Alex into the backseat. Jaylan held Alex's hand, feeling grateful for Mr. Patel's kindness. They reached the ER, and the doctors quickly took Alex inside. Jaylan learned that sometimes, people don't help because they don't know you need it. He realized the importance of tolerance and understanding in difficult situations.
