Set B

                 Pak Kassim, who is an elderly man, usually walks to the morning market on Sundays. It is his usual routine. The morning market is just a stone’s throw from his house. One fine morning, as usual, he was walking alone slowly along Jalan Melati. The road was quite deserted.

                 While he was walking, suddenly, a motorcycle came speeding from behind. The motorcyclist couldn’t control the motorcycle and knocked into poor Pak Kassim.

                  Pak Kassim fell down by the roadside. He was badly injured and was bleeding profusely. The irresponsible motorcyclist fled quickly from the scene.

                  Fortunately, a boy saw the accident. Immediately, he rushed to the scene and helped Pak Kassim. Later, he ran to a public telephone booth and called the ambulance. After a few minutes, the ambulance arrived. They took Pak Kassim to the nearest hospital for treatment.

                  Pak Kassim had to be warded due to his injuries. The brave boy visited him in the evening. He brought along some apples for him. He was glad to see Pak Kassim smiling at him. Pak Kassim’s  family members thanked the boy for his thoughtful act.
