In 1989 a strong earthquake almost flattened America, and over 300,000 people were injured in less than four minutes. Though the earthquakes had not ended completely, a father rushed to the school where his son was supposed to be, only to find that the building was as flat as a pancake.
After a moment he came to himself and remembered the promise he had made to his son: "No matter what happens, I'll always be there for you!" And tears began to fill his eyes. As he looked at the ruins(废墟), it looked hopeless , but he kept remembering his promise to his son. He rushed there and started digging in the ruins.
As he was digging, other helpless parents arrived, saying: "It's too late! They're all dead! Come on, face reality. There's nothing you can do!" To each parent he just replied ,"Are you going to help me now?" No one helped. And then he continued to dig for his son, stone by stone.
courageously he went on alone because he needed to know for himself: "Is my boy alive or is he dead?" He dug for 8 hours…12 hours…24 hours…36 hours…Then, in the 38th hour, he pulled back a large stone and heard his son's voice . He screamed his son's name, “ARMAND!” He heard back, “Dad! It's me, Dad! I told the other kids not to worry. I told them that if you were alive, you would save me and when you saved me, they'd be saved. You promised, ‘No matter what happens, I'll always be there for you!’ You did it, Dad!”
"What's going on there?" The father asked anxiously.
"There are 14 of us left out of 33, Dad. We're very frightened, hungry, thirsty and thankful you're here. When the building fell down, it made a triangle(三角形), and it saved us."
"Come out, boy!"
" No, Dad! Let the other kids come out first, because I know you'll get me! No matter what happens, I know you'll always be there for me!
