The true test of courage is to brave the elements, to fight the odds, and to hold on no matter what. This was surely the problems that faced young Ti-Boy Cormier in that memorable day in 1807. It was a mild winter, all things considered. Yet the ponds and river had frozen over. Many villagers where Ti-Boy came from paid little attention to the early thaw or that the ice-covered rivers and ponds were probably
Not safe. When a man fell into the ice that that day ,Ti-Boy was nearby . The man’s friends did not dare to go near the hole. They knew more weight would cause a cave in. While they rushed nearby to get help, Ti-Boy inched his way being very careful towards the drowning freezing man. He grabbed the hand that clawed desperately at the thin edge around the hole, Ti-Boy with no regard for his own safety held on to the man’s hand until help arrived. For this rescue I am sure Ti-Boy would have earned a medal of bravery. What makes this story more unusual is that you see
Ti-Boy was only 6 years old.
