Champagne from St. Louis, Missouri, hit the brake (刹车) on a runaway school bus. He saved himself and 20
other kids on board from disaster.
It all happened in one terrible accident. On the way
to school, the bus driver, Ernestine Blackman, suddenly fell ill. Seeing the

Larry, “but after I pressed the brake, I felt safe.”

country. He appeared on TV shows as a hero. The bus company gave Larry a big

driver up” during the emergency. How did he know how to stop the bus? Larry
