Story

One fine Sunday morning, Ram along with his family members visited a beach. While they were

enjoying the scenery he saw two boys swimming well into the sea. As the family moved ahead, Ram
stayed for a little longer to see if the boys were safe. It was then that he realized that they were
struggling and needed help. As he was a very good swimmer and had even done a life-saving course,
without blinking an eyelid, he jumped into the sea to rescue the boys. Through his presence of mind,
courage and determination, he brought back both the boys to safety and revived them by pumping the
water out of their lungs. For his courage he was later given a bravery award.
