Realizing his three-year-old brother, Nathaniel, was sleeping in the house, Antonio protected his head with his hands and rushed inside the wooden house. “wasI so afraid to see the flames on the roof, but when I heard my brother crying, I just closed my eyes and rushed in, ” says Dan Boy, who stopped schooling two years ago to look after his younger brothers. He found his brother sitting in the corner of the room, shaking and crying. Nathaniel was disoriented ( 迷惑的 ) from the smoke, so Dan Boy caught him with his right hand. “Don’t worry, kuya (big brother) is here, ” Dan Boy said as he protected Nathaniel from the flames with his own body. Just as they reached the front door, Nathaniel stopped. A nail had caught his shorts. Flames reached the upper part of the door as Antonio tried to get his brother free. With one last, hard pulling, they ran into the yard as the house was finished. For what he had done, Antonio received a special prize from the government and a university in the city offered to help him go back to school. “have done the same if Nathaniel wereI would not my brother, ” says Dan Boy.
