I braked suddenly yesterday. It was very scary. But I saved the life of a cute, fuzzy li'l squirrel. Am I a hero too?
I guess I would be if there was a video clip available.
But certainly not like the heroes that run into burning buildings, reach into burning cars, or confront armed gunmen. Those are heroes.
To her credit, the conductor said she was not a hero, just doing her job. She was correct. |
