The Brave Cowherd Story- The Boy Who Saved a Train Accident

The Boy Who Saved a Train Accident: There lived a Cowherd in a village. One day, early in the morning, he went out with his herd of cows. He took the Cows to a field near a railway bridge.

Suddenly he saw some problems on the track. He found that somebody had removed a rail from that line. He became alarmed at this. He took it as a sabotage effort of the miscreants. He also could picture the devastating caused by such sabotage. He once thought of going to the railway station nearby and informs the station master but he rejected the idea because the railway station was ten miles away from the spot.

In the meantime, he saw the train coming towards him at full speed. He then stood between the rails. He took off, his shirt and began to wave it. At first, the driver of the engine saw him from a distance. The engine whistled and whistled, but the boy did not move. So the driver stopped the train.

Later, he realized what was going to happen. He praised the boy’s wits highly and thanked him for saving their lives.
