Answer in Brief

Solution

I have read the following story of a brave boy. Karim was a shepherd boy. He used to graze his sheep and goats outside his village near the railway track. One day he found a few persons damaging the railway track. He hides himself and watched them. When those men had gone, he came to the track. A train expected to come in about half an hour. He knew that there would be a serious accident. He wanted to hit upon their plan. He went about half a kilometer up the track. He stood at the edge of the track. When the train become visible he began to wave his Red bag. The driver applies brakes. The train stopped. He saved the train and its passengers. He also told police about the men who had damaged the track. They were terrorists. They were arrest. Karim was rewarded. He was given a free school education. I like the story because Karim saved hundreds of lives with his presence of mind.
