Late in the evening I was walking in the park. Suddenly I heard scream coming from behind bushes. I stopped to listen and understood that a woman was being attacked, I heard sounds of fighting and muttering. For several moments I was hesitating,should I get involved? I panicked, I was frightened for my own safety. Maybe it is better to call the police? Then I realized that the woman‘s voice was becoming weaker, so I knew I had to act quickly. I asked myself if I could run away from this? Finally I decided that I had to help this unknown woman even if I was risking my own life. So I ran into the bushes. I pulled the attacker off the girl, we fell to the ground and fought for several minutes. Then the assailant jumped up and ran away. Breathing hard I slowly came up to the girl, who was cowering behind a tree. It was dark, so I could not see her face clearly. I knew that she was very frightened, so I talked to her from a distance: „You are safe now, it‘s ok, the man had run away.“ After a few moments I heard her words with great amazement in her voice: Dad, is that you?“. And then I realized, that the girl was my youngest daughter. What have you learnt from this story?
