Peggy Cardona parked her blue Nissan at a supermarket one day in February 1997. “I’ll come and open the door for you,” she told her four-year-old grandson, Ryan Eshleman, in the back seat.

Before Cardona could even  36  her door, the car moved ahead. “Nana, the car is  37  !” Ryan cried. Cardona jumped into the driver’s seat and reached for the handbrake(手闸), her left leg stepping outside, trying to stop the car. She couldn’t find the brake, and she  38  the car as it moved down the steep slope(陡坡) toward a pond 20 feet away.  39  Ryan cried “Nana!” as the car fell into the pond and the water began pouring in.

“Help!” Cardona cried as the car moved  40  the bank. “My grandson is inside!”

A supermarket clerk, Clint Fountain, 24, jumped down the slope and dived into the cold water.

Reaching the car, Fountain saw Ryan’s terrified face just inches(英寸)  41  the water. “Unlock the door!” Fountain shouted. The boy’s fingers fumbled(未触到) with the lock.

Fountain hit on the back 42  , but the glass wouldn’t break. Another man Dick McClung dived in and handed him a hammer(锤子). Grabbing it, Fountain told the boy to move aside, and broke the glass. His hands went   43  the broken window in the black water and pulled the boy

  44  . At that moment the last flash of the blue car  45  under the water.
