Peggy Cardona parked her blue Nissan at a supermarket one day in February 1997．“I’ll come and open the door for you,” she told her four-year-old grandson, Ryan Eshleman, in the back seat．
Before Cardona could even 1 her door, the car moved ahead．“Nana, the car is 2 !”Ryan cried．Cardona jumped into the driver’s seat and reached for the handbrake(手闸)，her left leg stepping outside, trying to stop the car．She couldn’t find the brake, and she 3 the car as it moved down the steep slope(陡坡)toward a pond 20 feet away． 4 Ryan cried “Nana!” as the car fell into the pond and the water began pouring in．
“Help!” Cardona cried as the car moved 5 the bank．“My grandson is inside!”
A supermarket clerk, Clint Fountain, 24, jumped down the slope and dived into the cold water．
Reaching the car, Fountain saw Ryan’s terrified face just inches(英寸) 6 the water．“Unlock the door!” Fountain shouted．The boy’s fingers fumbled(未触到)with the lock．
Fountain hit on the back 7 , but the glass wouldn’t break．Another man Dick McClung dived in and handed him a hammer(锤子)．Grabbing it, Fountain told the boy to move aside, and broke the glass．His hands went 8 the broken window in the black water and pulled the boy 9 ．At that moment the last flash of the blue car 10 under the water．
