Recently a small child, who was lost, was found wandering near a dangerous road and was rescued
and taken back home safely by a stranger, who walked away without giving a name.

As a newspaper reporter, write your account of this incident which must include all the following:

• a suitable heading

• when and where the incident happened

• a brief description of the child

• how the stranger was able to help

• a request for the helpful stranger to contact the child’s parents by telephone.

You may add further details but remember that newspapers do not have space for long, exciting
stories. Your account should be a statement of the facts, in clear, correct English.
