The Hero from Tufeni, 2014
The incident happened on a Friday, 2nd of May 2014 and has won the re-
spect of the entire community for the 11-year-old kid who endangered his own
life and became an overnight hero in his hometown, Tufeni, Olt County. He did
that by endangering his own life to save another, that of a two-year-old boy who
fell in a 6 meters deep water pit.
The hole in the backyard had accumulated rainwater over the last days, the
parents looking / intending to build a fountain there.
A rescue crew, the mayor and other emergency services arrived at the
scene. Because of the narrow diameter of the hole the boy was in, no adult man-
aged to fit in and save the little two-year-old boy. The savior of the child was
another 11 years old kid named Madalin! He received presents and a personal-
ized hat.
