Rescuing the Robber... Twice
Historical Account★★★★Rescuing the Robber... Twice A South African man surprised nine men robbing his home. Seven of the robbers ran away, but the homeowner managed to shove two into his backyard pool.
After realizing that one of the robbers couldn’t swim, the homeowner jumped in to save him. The Cape Times reports that once out of the pool, the wet thief called to his friends to come back. Then he pulled a knife and threatened the man who had just rescued him.
The homeowner said, “We were still standing near the pool, and when I saw the knife I just threw him back in. But he was gasping for air and was drowning.
So I rescued him again.” –Marvin Williams, Our Daily Bread, June 30, 2010. (Irony, Courage, Forgiveness)
