The boy’s father became seriously ill on the way home from a father-son shopping. He couldn’t speak and could    1    move, but he tried hard to stop the car safely. At that point, Dancy used his father’s phone to call his mother for help. The 5-year-old boy tried his best to give her useful information and he was able to tell where they were. Just as he had learned in the kindergarten, Dancy read the letters he saw on a nearby store sign: “F, U, R, N, I, T, U, R, E.” But that wasn’t enough for his mother to find them.
