Immigrant Saves Boy – level 1

31-05-2018 07:00

This news is from Paris. A father goes shopping. He leaves his son home alone. The son is only four years old. Their home is a flat on a fourth floor.

The boy gets in danger. He gets on the balcony. He hangs from it. He can fall down and die. Luckily, a brave man takes action. He climbs up the building. He is like Spider-man! He gets to the boy and saves him. People call the man a hero.

The hero is an illegal immigrant. President Macron meets him. He tells him that he is brave and good. The President also tells him that he can stay in France. The man is no longer an illegal immigrant. He can work as a firefighter, too.

Difficult words: brave (if you are brave, you do something good even though something bad can happen to you), climb (go up or down), illegal immigrant (a person who comes to another country but does not have official papers to be there).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
