She took the injured person to the nearest hospital taking help of a taxi.  She sent the 
patient under treatment and for the condition analysis through X-ray etc. After his first 
aid, she called her parents and explained the entire situation. Her parents felt proud of 
Sita and her bravery. When the patient became conscious she took his parents contact 
number and called them to take care of the patient. The patient's parents thanked her 
and obliged her for the help.

26. One day Sita was coming back to home from school by her school bus. She saw a man 
was lying down at the road side and no one was there to help him. She thought it as the 
case of a major accident. She asked the driver to stop the bus and came out of the bus. 
She took the injured person to the nearest hospital taking help of a taxi.  She sent the 
patient under treatment and for the condition analysis through X-ray etc. After his first 
aid, she called her parents and explained the entire situation. Her parents felt proud of 
Sita and her bravery. When the patient became conscious she took his parents contact 
number and called them to take care of the patient. The patient's parents thanked her 
and obliged her for the help.
