Missoula, MT, USA. On a fine summer day, Aaron Hall, 16, SET OUT ON a hike in the mountains of Montana with a group of young children. As a camp counselor, Hall WAS IN CHARGE OF the children’s safety.
Hall was walking IN FRONT OF six-year old Dante Swallow when he heard Dante scream. He turned around and GOT THE SHOCK OF HIS LIFE. An animal had Dante by the neck and was dragging him away.AT FIRST GLANCE, the animal LOOKED LIKE a dog, but then Hall saw the face of a mountain lion. He reacted IN A FLASH. He began kicking and hitting the lion. He FOUGHT TOOTH AND NAIL.
The lion LET GO of Dante and BACKED OFF, running into the bushes. Hall gave Dante first aid. Then he jumped into a nearby truck and drove the boy down the mountain. At the hospital, Dante got stitches in his neck. What a CLOSE CALL! The lion’s teeth had just missed Dante’s main artery.
“I WAS REALLY SCARED OF that lion,” Hall said afterwards. “I don’t even remember fighting him.” He is now a hero in his community. “What he did is just incredible,” said Dante’s grateful parents.
