　　“Mom！” Ben cried.“Look！” Just ahead，a car had lost control on a patch of ice.Barbara pulled over，and threw open her door.Thank goodness she was a nurse—she might be able to help these unfortunate passengers.

　　Then she paused.What about Ben? She couldn't take him with her.Little boys shouldn't see scenes like the one she anticipated(預(yù)料)．But was it safe to leave him alone? What if their car were hit from behind?

　　For a moment Barbara considered going on her way.Someone else was sure to come along.No! “Ben，honey，promise me you'll stay in the car！”

　　“I will，Mommy，” he said as she ran.It was worse than she'd feared.Two girls of high school age are in the car.One was dead.The driver，however was still breathing.Barbara quickly applied pressure to the wound in the teenager's head.If help came soon，the girl would live.

　　Barbara called for help on her cell phone and soon she heard the ambulance sirens(報警器)．

　　“Good job，” one said as he examined the driver's wounds.“You probably saved her life，madam.”

　　Slowly Barbara opened her car door.What should she tell Benjamin? He was staring at the crash site，his blue eyes huge.“Mom，” he whispered，“did you see it？”

　　“The angel，Mom! She came down from the sky while you were running to the car.And she opened the door，and she saved her life.”
