On that fateful day, Peter acted swiftly. Covering himself with his jacket, he bravely entered the flaming bus to rescue the children, sustaining burns on his hands in the process. With the help of firefighters, Peter managed to save all 28 students without any injuries.
The next morning, Peter woke up to find a crowd outside his house. The entire school, along with parents and his boss, had gathered to thank and praise him for his heroic act. They offered him his job back, appreciating his bravery and dedication to the children’s safety.
However, Peter humbly declined the offer, explaining that he didn’t want to risk the children’s lives due to his health issues. He realized that his love for the job was inseparable from the joy and safety of the children he served. Despite the temptation of returning to his beloved job, Peter chose to retire gracefully, knowing he had made a difference and cherishing the memories of his time as a bus driver.
