To RateHey, Pee Wee, what kind of crazy hat is that (shh)
Just a second Sam
I might be picking up on some space chatter
Space chowder, like soup
No, no, space chatter, like aliens talking
Oh good, I was worried this was something silly
Far from it, Sam
I’m harnessing technology to probe deep space and its inhabitants
Pick up anything yet
So far, not much, just some birds and you
But I’m still in the early stages of my experiments
Lots of fine-tuning still to-
Hold on, I’m picking up something, Pee-wee (gasp)
They know my name
Where are all my kitchen supplies
Sounds more like your mom to me (gulp)
Um, I’ll catch you later, Sam
Wow, with all those pots
It’s amazing he didn’t pick up some space chowder
What in the world, it’s a tumbleweed taco
It’s a little soggy, but I’ll take it, hey
Shoot, I almost had him
You’vee gotta be patient
Next time, let him take a bite before you set the hook
He saved his family from a fire
Thomas Kane, seventeen, awoke in his home in Scarsdale, New York
To smoke and flames filling his bedroom
Thomas yelled to alert his family
Fire, everyone wake up now, there’s a fire
Thomas called 911, and then tried to smother the flames
With a T-shirt soaked with water
But the fire spread rapidly and was soon out of control
After gathering as many winter clothes as he could
Thomas was helping his family leave the house
When he realized his grandparents were still upstairs
Disregarding his own safety
Thomas ran upstairs and woke his grandparents
And then guided them through the fiery, smoke-filled house
To join the rest of the family outside
Thomas handed out the winter clothing to his family members
To keep everyone warm until the fire department arrived
No one was harmed during their ordeal

On the Appalachian Trail in Pennsylvania
When a hiker they had met earliet called
And told them he had fallen and was badly hurt
Nate and his dad backtracked down the trail
They encountered three rattlesnakes before finding their friend
With a deep punctured wound under his chin
They bandaged the injury before starting the treacherous hike
To the closest town to get him more treatment
Nate and his dad met up with Nate’s brother
On a road near the trail
Another hiker had a car nearby
And drove Nate’s friend to a hospital
Where he was treated for his injuries and a concussion
He later recovered

And pulled over to help

Safely away from the vehicle

Until first responders arrived
