Story

Sofía conductora . . , . Sofía . . .

Sofía was an ambulance driver. Every morning she put on her uniform and went out onto the street. She liked her work very much, because she could help people. Sofía was a calm and kind woman. She never rushed about in fear. Her calm was her strength.

One summer day, she received a call. An old man had lost consciousness on the beach. He was on the sand, near the sea, and would not open his eyes. It was a difficult situation, but Sofía knew what to do.

Sofía got into the ambulance and set off quickly. The city was full of cars. There was a lot of traffic, but she did not rush in fear. She went between the cars carefully, calm and sure. Little by little, she thought: with calm I arrive safely.

When she arrived at the beach, many people were waiting near the man. Sofía sat down on the sand, beside him. With gentle hands, she moved the man very carefully. "I am here now," she said in a soft voice. "Everything is going to be all right."

The man needed sugar. Sofía gave him a little water with sugar and honey. Slowly, the man opened his eyes. He looked at Sofía and her uniform. "Thank you," he said in a weak voice. Sofía was happy.

Sofía moved the man into the ambulance with care. She set off quickly, through the traffic, towards the hospital. She arrived just in time. The doctors were already waiting at the door.

That day, the old man was alive because a calm driver did her job well. Sofía learned something important: in every situation, calm and care save lives. Gentle, sure work is also strong work.
