Angels on the Road

Shengliver’s Note: The teen writer, Shutian, saw two angels on a busy road early one morning.

Last week, I saw a thing on a freezing morning, which warmed my heart and brightened my day.

I was on the way to school, walking across the zebra crossing when I saw a puppy stuck in the middle of the road, with cars streaming by in opposite directions on either side. As you know, it is still pitch dark around 6.30 in the dead of winter. The canine was so insignificant on the road that the drivers could hardly notice it. The poor confused creature, trapped amid the constant traffic flow, seemed to be shocked and shaking. I was concerned that it might get run over any minute.

Then what moved me deeply was that two girls dressed in YYHS uniform came up in front of the traffic and became angels. They escorted the doggie until it had safely crossed the road. Realising on the other side of the road that the little creature seemed to have lost its way, they took it to the lodge at the school gate, where they entrusted it to the guards.

Are the two girls angels? You bet.
