One day, Salvatore was sleeping. Then he heard a sound from the bathroom. He went there quickly. He found his mother lying on the ground. She couldn’t move. Salvatore thought that she died in the shower. He was afraid.

Salvatore then took his sister in his arms. They went to ask their neighbor for help. Luckily, Jessica Penoyer was home. At first, she didn’t know what Salvatore was saying. But once she understood him, she called 911. After some minutes, doctors came. They said Salvatore’s mother was not dead. She just passed out(昏倒).
