lower floors got out safely, but the people living on the higher floors could not do so.
Their lives were in danger. The building weakened by the fire, began to rock.
But the boy ran his lift up and down through the smoke and flames, till the last
person was safe. No one had compelled or prompted the boy to do so. On the contrary,
the police had tried to prevent the boy from endangering his life. But the boy was too
