After a serious earthquake, a man left his wife safely at home and rushed into his son's school only to find that the
building where his son studied had collapsed and looked like a pancake.
He was too shocked. He didn't know what he should do for a while, and then he remembered the words he had said
to his son: "no matter what happens, I'll always be there for you!" And tears began to fill his eyes. He started digging(挖)through the ruins.As he was digging, other helpless parents and the firemen arrived and tried to pull him off the
ruins,
saying," It's too late! They are all dead! There's nothing you can do!" To them he replied with one line:" are you now?" And then he kept on digging.
No one helped, however. He went on alone because he needed to know for himself: "is my boy alive or dead?""He
dug for 8 hours...12 hours.…24 hours.…36hours…then, in the 39th hour, he pulled back a rock and heard his son's
words. He shouted his son's name, "Armand!" He heard back, "Dad?! It's me, Dad! 我告诉我的同学们保持冷静。I
told them if you were alive, you'd save me and when you saved me, they'd be saved. You promised (承诺) ' No matter
what happens, I'll always be there for you!' You did it, Dad!"
"What's going on there? How is it?" the father asked.
"There are 14 of us left out of 33, Dad. We're frightened, hungry, thirsty and thankful you're here. When the building
fell down, it made a triangle(三角形), and it saved us."
"Come out, boy!"
"No, Dad! Let my classmates out first, because I know you'll get me! No matter what happens, I know you'll always
be there for me!"
