A heroic act of a bystander.

He is commonly called "Maoy" in our place. Every one in town know him for his restless alcoholic problem. Every morning he is seated at the waiting shed near our home. He will be seen their often with a bottle of hard drink. He had been actually making that shed his house. His wife leave him for another man. He is address as one of the cancer in our society. I don't know if he is affected by that or no. You cannot trace or read any reactions in his face every time his old acquainted friends throw bad comments about him. He is a true hopeless individual. One morning when i was about to cross the street, i saw a fast running taxi coming. Every thing happened too fast. I saw everything as if in a slow motion action movie. I can't barely move and shout. I saw a little girl escaped from her mother's hold and run. Maoy moved faster than i thought. He rescued the girl and he got badly hit instead. He was rushed to the hospital but declared dead on arrival. Will he be remember by his heroic deed or as a simple bystander? For me,by his heroic deed.We cannot judge one person for his looks alone.
