So, he began to think how to save the train and its passengers from the accident.

The boy knew that a driver stops his train when any red flag comes into his notice. Incidentally, the boy was wearing a red T-shirt and he decided to raise it as a red flag.

At once he heard the whistle of the train. The train was coming at a full speed. The Boy put off his T-shirt and tied to a stick. He stood beside the railway and began to Wave it like a flag. The train came into sight but boy did not move from the place near the breakage. He kept on waving the shirt. The driver noticed it and stopped the train just nears the break.

The boy why he was waving the shirt. The boy showed him the breakage. The driver and the passengers were very pleased with the boy. The thanked the boy Highly.

The incident was notified to the rail authority. It was published in the newspapers and broadcast through TV channels. Later on, the boy was awarded for saving hundreds of lives. Since then, the boy was called a real hero.
