"Mom, I have to go get help,"
Maddie cried.
McRae realized it was their only hope. If
she tried to go herself, she knew, Maddie wouldn't be able to hold on to the
two toddlers(学步婴儿), and all
three children might drown. But Maddie was still recovering from foot surgery
and had been out of a cast for only a week. How was she going to manage? They
were stranded in the middle of the swelling torrent (激流) in complete darkness, more than 25
feet from the creek bank.
McRae looked at her small, determined
daughter. "I'm thinking, this is the last chance I may get to talk to her.
What do I need to tell her?" she recalls. "I love you!" she
shouted over the roaring water. "I'm proud of you. Be careful!"
"I know I can do it," Maddie
replied. The 95-pound sixth grader grabbed a thin, weak branch hanging over the
SUV and began to climb across the creek. Reaching the bank, she jumped into
"a whole bunch of prickly (多刺的)
bushes," then took off running. "I was in my power," she
recalls.
With the cold water now swelling up to her
chest and her arms growing numb around the two toddlers, McRae could see her
daughter's figure as she moved quickly up the hill toward the nearest
neighbor's back pasture(牧场).
Suddenly she heard Maddie scream.
"I ran into an electric fence,"
Maddie recalls. "It really hurt." Barefoot and soaking wet, she tried
to climb it four or five times, thrown back each time by a shock meant to
contain horses. Finally she found a cold spot near the gate and got over. McRae
saw a porch light go on at the top of the hill.
