Class 5 Student's Quick Thinking Saves Mid-Day Meal Worker
On an ordinary school day, a worker in the school kitchen was using a big electric machine that grates food.
Suddenly, her finger got stuck inside the running machine.
It was very scary, and she cried out for help.
The people around her were confused and did not know what to do.
But a smart 10-year-old boy named Manvith, who was playing nearby, stayed calm.
Instead of going near the machine, he ran straight to the main switch and turned off the power.
The machine stopped right away.
The worker's finger was saved from a very serious, possibly permanent injury.
Everyone praised Manvith for being so brave and quick-thinking.
A 10-year-old Class 5 student named Manvith saved an Akshara Dasoha mid-day meal worker at the Government Higher Primary School in Narikombu.
The worker's finger got caught in an electrically powered grating machine in the school kitchen on Wednesday.
While onlookers panicked, Manvith bypassed the crowd and shut off the main power switch.
His split-second decision halted the machine, preventing severe and potentially permanent injuries.
