Leah Saves the Day
“You have our cell phone numbers, so call if you need to,” said Leah’s father.
Leah was thirteen, and it was her first time babysitting for her little brother. She had stayed home by herself before, but she had never had to watch Richie. Leah was a little nervous, but she tried to call on and summon her courage.
Richie was playing on the backyard jungle gym. Suddenly, Leah’s cat, Marshmallow, zoomed past. “Oh, no,” cried Leah, “we must have left the door open!”
Leah ran after the cat, scooped her up, and brought her back into the house. Then, Leah heard a loud groan. Richie had fallen and was holding his wrist. Richie recoiled when Leah tried to touch it. “Ouch, Leah, it hurts!” he said as he jumped back.
Thoughts about what to do went whirling around in Leah’s head. Then she took Richie by his good hand. Leah knocked loudly on their neighbor’s door and let out a long breath when Dr. Crawley opened it.
“It’s just a sprain, Richie,” said Dr. Crawley after examining and wrapping a bandage around Richie’s wrist.
Leah dialed the number to call her parents, proud that she had made the right decision to get some help.
