“Amy! Milk!” Mama called.
Milk. It was Amy's turn to get it. Amy sighed and shut her first-aid book.
Amy tied the cow close to a tree. Somewhere down the mountain, some volunteer doctors were teaching medical skills to village nurses. Amy heard Betty drive off hours ago. “She should have taken me with her. She thinks I'm too young,” Amy thought. “But she's wrong. I am already 15!”
Amy carried the milk back to Mama, and then wandered up the road. Roy, a village boy, was trying to stand on a horse's back. “No wonder they don't trust kids with anything important,” Amy thought.
She had just turned away when she heard a heavy fall and a few cries. Roy was on the ground. “Roy!” The kids nearby ran towards him. “Get Betty,” one said. Amy shook her head. “Betty's gone to the city.”
The kids didn't know what to do. Amy ran to Roy and saw one of his legs out of shape. A broken leg! She remembered what the first-aid book said about it.
“Victor!” Amy called to one of the boys. “Go get Roy's mama, and find someone with a truck.” She turned to the others. “Give me your shirts. We need something to tie his leg with.”
Amy then found a strong, straight stick. She carefully wrapped the shirts around Roy's leg and the stick. Roy cried out in pain. “I know it hurts,” Amy said softly. “But this will hold it still until you get to the hospital.”
When Amy was done, she looked up and saw Roy's mama and a man watching beside a truck. “Thank you, Amy,” Roy's mama said. Amy helped them lift Roy into the truck, and then they drove down the hillside towards the hospital.
The next day, Betty came to Amy's home. “I heard what you did,” Betty said. “You kept your head in an emergency. That's an important skill.”
Amy's face turned red. “I was afraid...”
Betty shook her head. “It's OK for a nurse to be afraid as long as she has a clear head. The volunteer doctors are coming tomorrow with vaccines(疫苗). We need some more hands. Can you help?”
“I'd love to,” Amy replied at once.
“Come early, then. There is a lot to learn.”
Amy smiled, “I'll bring my first-aid book.”

A. Amy was busy reading.
B. Betty left too early in the morning.

()2. What happened to Roy?

“埃米！（去取）牛奶！”妈妈喊道。
取牛奶。轮到埃米去取了。埃米叹了口气，合上了她的急救书。
埃米把牛拴在一棵靠近的树上。山下的某个地方，一些志愿医生正在向村里的护士传授医疗技能。埃米几个小时前就听到贝蒂开车走了。“她本应该带我一起去的。她觉得我太小了，”埃米想。“但她错了。我已经15岁了！”
埃米把牛奶带回给妈妈，然后沿着路闲逛。罗伊，一个村里的男孩，正试图站在马背上。“难怪他们不把任何重要的事情托付给孩子，”埃米想。
她刚转身，就听到一声沉重的摔倒声和几声哭喊。罗伊倒在地上。“罗伊！”附近的孩子们朝他跑去。“去找贝蒂，”一个孩子说。埃米摇了摇头。“贝蒂去城里了。”
孩子们不知道该怎么办。埃米跑向罗伊，看到他的一条腿变形了。一条腿骨折了！她想起了急救书里关于骨折的内容。
“维克多！”埃米对其中一个男孩喊道。“去找罗伊的妈妈，再找一个有卡车的人。”她转向其他人。“把你们的衬衫给我。我们需要一些东西来固定他的腿。”
然后埃米找了一根结实、笔直的棍子。她小心地把衬衫缠在罗伊的腿和棍子上。罗伊疼得叫了起来。“我知道很疼，”埃米轻声说。“但这会把它固定住，直到你到达医院。”
埃米做完后，她抬起头，看到罗伊的妈妈和一个男人在一辆卡车旁边看着。“谢谢你，埃米，”罗伊的妈妈说。埃米帮他们把罗伊抬上卡车，然后他们沿着山坡开车去医院。
第二天，贝蒂来到埃米的家。“我听说了你做的事，”贝蒂说。“你在紧急情况下保持了冷静。这是一项重要的技能。”
埃米的脸变红了。“我很害怕……”
贝蒂摇了摇头。“只要护士头脑清醒，害怕是没关系的。志愿医生明天会带着疫苗来。我们还需要一些人手。你能帮忙吗？”
“我很乐意，”埃米立刻回答。
“那就早点来。有很多东西要学。”
埃米笑了，“我会带上我的急救书。”
