 Haden Stusak is from Atlanta in the USA. One day, he was playing in his grandma’s swimming pool with his best friend, Josiah. Haden was practicing diving when he saw Josiah at the bottom of the pool. He was drowning. The adults did not see him. “I was the only person who saw him,” said Haden. Haden, who is six years old, quickly dived into the pool. He dragged five- year- old Josiah out of the water. A few minutes later Josiah was breathing  again.

Everyone called Haden a hero. “I’m not a hero,” said Haden. “ I’m just a good friend.”

 

Kiah Kurtzer, who is from Australia, was looking out of her bedroom window one night when she saw that that her neighbour’s bin was on fire. Fourteen- year- old Kiah first called the fire brigade, and then she ran outside to start to put the fire out. She used water from the garden hose to put out the fire. Her neighbor came to help her. When the fire brigade arrived, the fire was already out.

“I was scared,” said Kiah, “but I think it’s important to help your neighbours.”
