Kindergartens(幼儿园) may teach you very important things you need to know. Bob, a 5-year-old boy, saved his father’s life with the skills he learned.

The boy’s father became seriously ill on the way home. He couldn’t speak and could hardly move, but he tried hard to stop the car safely. At that point, Bob used his father’s phone to call his mother for help. The 5-year-old boy tried his best to give her mother the useful information, and he was able to tell where they were. Just as he had learned in the kindergarten, Bob read the letters he saw on a nearby store sign: " F,U,R,N,I,T,U,R,E. " But that wasn’ t enough for his mother to find them. Then he added that they were near a bridge. Finally, his mother understood he was talking about a store called Furniture 22 on New Jersey’s Route22. The mother called 911 and the father was saved in time.
