Text:

The CHILD HERO AWARDS ceremony has been going for 4 years. It’s for children who have done something very special, something extraordinary. There was a little girl called Kira on the ceremony; she is 10 now. Her story really impressed me because she is so brave.

Kira’s friend fell into a hole in the ice when they were ice-skating on the pond. Immediately Kira ran up to her friend and started pulling her out even though there was a danger that she could fall in too. After a really hard struggle Kira pulled her friend out and saved her life. Kira was 8 at that time and the little girl was 4. Without Kira’s quick thinking the child could have drowned.
