One day last week, three young friends were walking in a forest when they saw a hand poking (露出) through the bushes (灌木丛). Alison Bailey, along with her brother Simon and his friend Liam Stone, decided to find out who was there. They walked into the bushes and found a woman. It seemed that she had been lying there for more than a day.

Yesterday, the children were praised for saving Mrs. Hauton's life. Doctors said Mrs. Hauton would have died if she stayed another night outside. It is believed that Mrs. Hauton probably had a sudden illness and fell while out for a walk last Wednesday.

Alison said, “The lady could hear us and reached her hand out. But she was shaking. She kept repeating that she wanted to get up, but I said that she should stay there because she could have broken her back. I kept talking to her until the ambulance (救护车) arrived. I talked for at least half an hour!”

Simon and Liam added, “We were very scared at first, but we ran to call an ambulance. We're glad we helped. She might have died.”

The three children have been to the hospital to see Mrs. Hauton. Alison said, “We went to see the lady on the weekend. She still wasn't sure why she was in hospital and didn't remember us. She looked a lot better, though.”

A doctor said, “The children were very quick-thinking. They did everything exactly as they should have done.”
