Even a six-year-old kid can be a hero. First grader “Beanie” Mar was having lunch at school one day. Her friend Aniyah sat beside her, eating an apple. Aniyah suddenly began to choke. She pointed to her throat. The problem was that a piece of apple was stuck there. She couldn’t breathe! Calmly, Beanie got up and stood behind Aniyah. She had the perfect solution in mind. Beanie put her arms around the scared girl. She centered her fist on Aniyah’s stomach. She sharply pressed in and up. Out popped the piece of apple! Aniyah could breathe again. Beanie had seen that life-saving move on TV. She used it to save her friend’s life.
