Rebecca Munkombwe, an 11-year-old girl from Zimbabwe, is regarded as a hero for saving a 9-year-old friend from the jaws of a crocodile by jumping or、the crocodile and gouging (挖) its eyes out.
According to Zimbabwean media, Rebecca and her friends had just got back from a swim in a stream near their home village when they heard the screams corning from the water. She was shocked to see her 9-year-old friend Latoya Muwani being dragged into the water by a crocodile. While all the other children were running scared, Rebecca ran toward the water, jumped on top of the crocodile and started beating it with her bare fists. However, that didn’t seem to bother the crocodile at all, so she then used her fingers to gouge its eyes out until it loosened its grasp of Latoya. Once she was free, Rebecca swam with her to the bank.
Surprisingly, the 11-year-old heroine managed to save her young friend without suffering any wounds, while Latoya was lucky to escape with just mild wounds that were later treated at a regional hospital. Latoya’s parents praised Rebecca’s courage and thanked her for saving their daughter’s life. “I was at work when I learnt that my daughter had been attacked by a crocodile while swimming. For a moment I thought of the worst before I learnt that she’d survived after being saved by Rebecca,” Latoya’s father, Fortune Muwani, said. “I don’t know how she managed to do that, but I’m grateful to her.”
Local authorities confirmed the crocodile attack, adding that the number of such incidents was increasing. Apparently, the lack of easily accessible water sources (水源) is forcing women and children to use unprotected sources like this crocodile-infested (遍布鳄鱼的) stream.
来自津巴布韦的11岁女孩Rebecca Munkombwe被视为英雄,她通过跳跃、鳄鱼和刨食将一位9岁的朋友从鳄鱼的口中救了出来(挖) 它的眼睛向外看。
据津巴布韦媒体报道,丽贝卡和她的朋友们刚在家乡附近的小溪里游泳回来,就听到了水里传来的尖叫声。她震惊地看到她9岁的朋友拉托亚·穆瓦尼被鳄鱼拖下水。当其他孩子都吓得跑的时候,丽贝卡跑向水面,跳到鳄鱼身上,开始徒手击打鳄鱼。然而,这似乎一点也不困扰鳄鱼,所以她用手指挖出鳄鱼的眼睛,直到它松开对拉托亚的抓握。一有空,丽贝卡就和她一起游到岸边。
令人惊讶的是,这位11岁的女主角成功救下了她的年轻朋友,没有受伤,而拉托亚则幸运地逃脱了,只受了轻伤,后来在地区医院接受了治疗。拉托亚的父母赞扬了丽贝卡的勇气,并感谢她救了他们女儿的命。拉托亚的父亲Fortune Muwani说:“当我得知女儿在游泳时被鳄鱼袭击时,我正在上班。在得知她被丽贝卡救下后幸存下来之前,我一度想到了最坏的情况。”。“我不知道她是怎么做到的,但我很感激她。”
地方当局证实了鳄鱼袭击事件,并补充说,此类事件的数量正在增加。显然,缺乏容易获得的水源(水源) 正在迫使妇女和儿童使用像这种鳄鱼出没的无保护来源(遍布鳄鱼的) 流动
