Tristin Saghin enjoyed the movie Black Hawk Down very much, which is about the conflict（冲突） in Somalia. The battle scenes and the exciting rescues of people who are dying, interested him greatly. There was just one problem: Tristin was only 9 years old, and it was thought that movie was not for children. When his parents caught him watching it on TV, they made him turn it off, though he had finished his homework and it was not late. Then one day, Tristin and his family were visiting his grandmother in Mesa, Arizona. Tristin’s 2-year-old sister got out of the house and fell in the backyard pool. Realizing the little girl was missing, the family ran outside, only to find the girl had fallen into the water. Pulled from the pool and placed on the ground, the child wasn’t breathing.
