You should never underestimate the ability of even our youngest children to know how to extricate themselves from the most complicated situations and in cases of an emergency at home; our little ones are much more acute and attentive than we adults believe. Precisely for this reason, they are sometimes capable of carrying out actions of great courage and tenacity that we should simply applaud and that's it; just like the 3-year-old boy who starred in this rescue story did ...

The brave boy is called Stefan Snowden, he lives in the village of Twenty in, Lincolnshire, England and thanks to his courage and intuition he saved his 28-year-old father Marc during an epileptic attack. What the child did was very smart and at the same time very moving: after he saw that his father had fallen to the ground after the attack, he got on board his toy truck and traveled a good 300 meters astride the his means of transport to seek help in the open road.

Fortunately, a woman saw little Stefan pushing himself along the country road followed by some cars that were passing him; if it hadn't been for her, who knows what might have happened: "The little boy was going slowly along the main road, there were three or four cars behind him, and also another impatient motorist who had crossed the traffic line. Then a woman stopped her truck and parked it across the street to rescue him. Luckily for him she was there, she was very brave!"

While the woman who witnessed the incident on the country road secured little Stefan by taking him to her house, other witnesses tried to understand who the family of the little boy out without mum and dad could be; fortunately, the police immediately identified Stefan's parents home, and Marc was also saved in time by his wife Carla who in the meantime had returned home after shopping and found her husband on the ground and her son temporarily missing.

But all's well that ends well: Marc is safe and sound and little Stefan is back home with mum and dad, who are now grateful to those two women who took care of the brave 3-year-old in his time of need .

Luckily everything worked out for the best!
