Two Dozen Butterflies

 


On December 9, 2021, a school student in Muskogee, Oklahoma was trying to remove the lid from his water bottle with his teeth. The cap slipped and became lodged in the student’s throat, choking him. Eleven-year-old Davyon Johnson, who wants to become an EMT someday, performed the Heimlich maneuver, which he’d learned on YouTube. “I burped him, kind of,” said Davyon. The cap popped right out. Later in the evening ON THE SAME DAY, the sixth-grader was on his way home when he happened upon a house fire. The back of the house was burning, and a disabled woman was trying to get off her front porch. Davyon helped her down and into her truck. The Muskogee Police Department, Sheriff’s Office and school board awarded Davyon for his heroism. The sad thing is, no matter how long this kid lives, he’ll probably never top his accomplishments on a single day back in the sixth grade.
