Tilly Smith (a British school girl) was able to
save many lives when the tsunami struck Phuket beach in Thailand. Though she
has won a number of awards, her parents have not allowed their daughter to be
interviewed on television and made into a heroine. Why do you think they took
that decision?
Now here is a story from Thailand.
The Smith family from South-East England were
celebrating Christmas at a beach resort in southern Thailand. Tilly Smith was a
ten-year-old schoolgirl; her sister was seven years old. Their parents were
Penny and Colin Smith.
It was 26 December 2004. Deadly tsunami waves were
already on their way. They had been triggered by a massive earthquake off
northern Sumatra earlier that morning.
“The water was swelling and kept coming in,” Penny
Smith remembered. “The beach was getting smaller and smaller. I didn’t know what
was happening.”
But Tilly Smith sensed that something was
wrong. Her mind kept going back to a geography lesson she had taken in England
just two weeks before she flew out to Thailand with her family.
Tilly saw the sea slowly rise, and start to foam,
bubble and form whirlpools. She remembered that she had seen this in class in a
video of a tsunami that had hit the Hawaiian islands in 1946. Her geography
teacher had shown her class the video, and told them that tsunamis can be
caused by earthquakes, volcanoes and landslides.
Tilly started to scream at her family to get off
the beach. “She talked about an earthquake under the sea. She got more and more
hysterical,” said her mother Penny. “I didn’t know what a tsunami was. But
seeing my daughter so frightened, I thought something serious must be going
on.”
Tilly’s parents took her and her sister away from the
beach, to the swimming pool at the hotel. A number of other tourists also left
the beach with them. “Then it was as if the entire sea had come out after them.
I was screaming, ‘Run!’”
The family took refuge in the third floor of the
hotel. The building withstood the surge of three tsunami waves. If they had
stayed on the beach, they would not have been alive.
The Smiths later met other tourists who had lost
entire families. Thanks to Tilly and her geography lesson, they had been
forewarned. Tilly went back to her school in England and told her classmates
her terrifying tale.
