In 1989, an earthquake almost falttened America, killing many people in less than four minutes.
In the middlt of the complete damage and disorder, a father rushed to the school where his son was supposed to be, only to discover that the building was as flat as a pancake.
After the unforgettable shock, he remembered the promise he has made to his son, No matter what happens, I will always be there for you.
And tears began to fill his eyes.
As he looked at the pile of ruins, it looked hopeless, but he kept remembering his promise to his son. He rushed there and started digging through the ruins.
As he was digging, othere helpless parents arrived, saying. It is too late. They are all dead. Come on, face reality. There is nothing you can do.
To each parent he responed with one line, Are you going to help me now? No one helped. And then he continued to dig for his son, stone by stone.
Courageously he went on alone becasue he needed to know for himself, Is my boy alive or is he dead?
He dug for eight hours......12 hours......24hours.....then, in the 38th hour, he pulled back a large stone and heard his son's voice.
He screamed his son's name, he heard back.
Dad? It is me. I told the other kids not to worry. I told them that if you were alive, you would save me and when you saved me, They would be saved. You promised: No matter what happens, I will always be there for you. You did it , Dad.
What is going on in there? the father asked.
There are 14 of us left out of 33. We are scared, hungry, thirsty and thankful you are here.
When the building collapsed, it made a triangle and it saved us.
Come out, boy.
No, Dad. Let the other kids come out first, because I know you will get me. No matter what happens, I know you will always be there for me.
