Dave Stone
A YOUNG HERO
Fourteen-year-old Dave Stone is not only the swimming
champion of Milford but also a local hero. Why? He saved
his best friend's life.
What happened three days ago?
Well, Colin and I went fishing on Milford Lake
in the afternoon. Colin had a new underwater
camera and wanted to take pictures. He saw
a big fish, so he put the camera in the water.
Then the boat suddenly overturned!
Did you jump in the water?
No, we didn't really jump. We both fell in. I was
very worried about Colin because he can't
swim.
Really? And what did you do?
I grabbed him and swam to a small Island in the
middle of the lake. Luckily, we were near the
island.

The next morning a fisherman found us and
took us home. We were very lucky.
