The Hero

   A man and a woman were waiting at the train station in the summertime during midday. It was beautiful out, with the sun in the sky with just a few puffy white clouds nearby.

   All of a sudden two little girls were playing tag and one of them got so close to the edge of the train tracks she tripped and fell trying to dodge the tag. When she fell and landed on the tracks, crying, the other girl goes to their mom leaving her there.

   The strong looking man waiting with his wife for their train sees what happening and the man darts to her. As he dashes he hears the train coming so her picks her up and goes to the edge and throws her onto the grass part. He jumps up and barely makes it. He was a hero that shocking day.
