Once, there was a storm in Holland, and a boat capsized in the wind and rain and fog. A Rescue Team went out and worked to exhaustion recovering all but one survivor. They came back and the team was exhausted. “Who will go?” someone shouted. Then 16 yr-old Hans said “I will go!” His mother begged him not to go: “Your father died at sea 10 years ago. Your brother Paul was lost at sea just three weeks ago. I can’t take any more heartache. You are all that I have left.”
Hans explained: “I have to go. What if everyone said, Not me. Let someone else do it’?” Hans went out to try to rescue the last survivor.
An hour passed anxiously for his mother and everyone. Then a voice came through the fog. Hans called out: “Tell my mother that I have rescued my brother Paul!”
