One
afternoon, Kate and her brother, Bob, went out to play. Kate was eight, and Bob
was ten. "Let's go to the bridge and we can see fish in the river,"
said Kate.
"I don't know..." Bob said. "Mum
told us, 'Don't go on the bridge.' She said it's dangerous."
Kate
said, "I am not afraid. Are you?" They walked onto the bridge and
began looking for fish in the river. The bridge was a train bridge. Trains went
over the bridge three times a day.
The
children were standing in the middle of the bridge when they heard a loud noise.
"A train is coming!" Bob shouted. "Run!" He ran to the end
of the bridge. He was safe.
Kate
ran, too, but she fell. The train was coming fast. Kate ran towards Bob. She
fell again right on the train tracks (铁轨). There was no time to leave. She had to
lie down between the tracks. A few seconds later, the train went over the girl,
but she was not hurt at all. She stood up and said to Bob, "Don't tell
Mum! Don't tell Mum!"
At
last their mother found out about the story. She was angry because they went on
the bridge. But she was happy that Kate was all right.
