ESL 113: Young Boy Defends Sister



Download


A nine-year-old boy defended his sister from her angry ex-boyfriend yesterday. Woody Harrelson, 24, who had a house key, had hidden in the closet of the Shatner family's home waiting for his ex-girlfriend Ethel, 23, to return. He attacked Ethel with a knife seconds after she arrived home. She was carrying their 11-month-old baby in her arms. Woody stabbed away, not caring if he injured his baby or not. Ethel, bleeding and screaming, ran into her bedroom and put the baby into the crib. Woody followed her into the bedroom.

Curt ran into the bedroom and jumped onto Woody's back. From behind, he managed to jam his fingers into Woody's eyes. Woody yelled and dropped the knife. As Woody stumbled around rubbing his eyes, Curt grabbed the knife and plunged it twice into Woody's lower back. Woody ran out of the house. Curt held onto the knife in case Woody came back. Ethel called 911. The paramedics treated Ethel's wounds and transported her to the hospital, where she is in stable condition. The baby, protected by its heavy clothing and a blanket, was unharmed. Woody has not been caught yet.

All hospitals in the area were alerted to watch for Woody, because Curt said that he "got him good." In fact, said one doctor, Woody should get to a hospital as soon as possible. He might bleed to death if Curt actually punctured one of Woody's kidneys. The paramedics and police commended little Curt for his bravery. He said that it was his responsibility to protect his sister, because "when Daddy's not home, I'm the man of the family."

Hôm qua, một cậu bé chín tuổi đã bảo vệ chị mình thoát khỏi người bạn trai cũ đang nóng giận. Woody Harrelson, 24 tuổi, là người có chìa khoá nhà, đã trốn trong phòng kho của gia đình Shatner để chờ cô bạn gái cũ, Ethel, 23 tuổi, trở về nhà. Với một con dao, hắn tấn công Ethel ngay sau khi cô vừa về đến nhà. Cô đang bế em bé 11 tháng tuổi của họ trên tay. Woody rút dao đâm ngay tức thì, không quan tâm hắn có thể làm bị thương em bé hay không. Ethel, đang bị chảy máu và kêu thét lên, cô chạy vào phòng ngủ và đặt em bé vào chiếc giường cũi. Woody chạy theo cô vào phòng.

Curt chạy vào phòng ngủ và nhảy lên lưng của Woody. Từ phía sau, cậu tìm cách nhét mấy ngón tay của mình vào mắt của Woody. Woody la lên và và đánh rơi con dao. Trong khi Woody đang đi loạng choạng và xoa bóp đôi mắt, Curt chộp lấy con dao và đâm sâu hai nhát vào thắt lưng của Woody. Woody chạy ra khỏi nhà. Curt vẫn nắm con dao đề phòng Woody quay trở lại. Ethel gọi cho 911. Các nhân viên cứu thương đã chữa trị vết thương cho Ethel và chuyển cô vào bệnh viện, là nơi cô được ở trong tình trạng ổn định. Em bé, được bảo vệ bởi lớp áo quần dày dặn và một cái chăn, đã không hề hấn gì. Woody vẫn chưa bị bắt.

Tất cả các bệnh viện trong khu vực đã được báo cho biết để chờ đón Woody, vì Curt nói rằng cậu đã "đâm hắn một nhát ra trò". Thật ra, một vị bác sĩ cho biết, Woody nên vào bệnh viện càng nhanh càng tốt. Hắn có thể chảy máu đến chết nếu Curt thực sự đâm thủng một trong những trái thận của Woody. Các nhân viên cứu thương và cảnh sát đã khen ngợi cậu bé Curt vì sự can đảm. Cậu bảo trách nhiệm của cậu là bảo vệ chị mình, bởi vì "khi bố cháu không có ở nhà, cháu là trụ cột của gia đình."
