A 14-year-old boy from the USA was described as a hero yesterday after he saved the life of a woman in another country.

Dean Bluey from Dallas, Texas, was a school boy who has much interest in 36. One day, he was sending an e-mail to a friend on the Internet. Suddenly he 37 a message saying “Help! Pain! Help!”. The message was from Finland（芬兰）, 38 of kilometers away from America.

“I didn’t know what I should do,” Dean said to a reporter later. “It was really 39 to tell if the message was real.” So Dean did 40 at first. But the message kept coming.

“By then it was easy to see that someone was in trouble,” Dean 41. He replied and discovered that sender was a student called Tarja, who was 42 in a university library. She was ill. What was worse, there was no 43 around her. Her only way of 44 with the world was by e-mail. Dean got in touch with the police immediately. And they realized that the situation was quite serious. They called the police in Finland. Then an ambulance（救护车） rushed to the library. Luckily, she was still alive and was sent to the hospital 45.

“I’m glad she’s OK,” Dean said. “It’s hard to believe, but e-mail saved her life.”
