The real story:

Corbin Crawford, 12, left, holds his brother, Dylan Crawford, 7, as the pair await rescue from shifting ice above a hydroelectric dam on the Des Moines River near Fort Dodge, Iowa, on March 20. The boys were stuck adrift on a sheet of ice about 75 feet from the west bank of the river for nearly an hour before firefighters saved them. Fort Dodge Police officer Tim Breon talks to them at left.

My students' stories:

There were two boys and they were going to the school but they most go over the ice but the ice break and the boys floating away. They are about to floating away. The policeman did not do anything. They didn't float very long before a helicopter come and helped them. The  helicopter headed for the hospital. Because one of the boys had fell in the water  and almost froze to death.

   The policeman was suspended because he didn't care when the boys were about to float away and hardly die. But the boys survived.

Dear diary, 

Yesterday me and my brother John went to iceskating. 

We walked on the ice but John fell in the water. He started to scream so I was so afraid so I also started to scream.

But then I saw some thing it was a man know i was a police man, he walked really fast. He helped my brother up from the water.

He asked my brother if he was alright, my brother say that I was alright but cold. 

  Then he asked if we wanted to come to the police office and we say yes so he say that we just can follow him to the police cab. So we did that but first I hugged my brother so hard but after that we started to go to the police cab. The police man asked  if he can get our mom's number we gave the police the number.

   We jumped in the car and he turn on the police radio, he drives us to the police office.

   When we came to the office we met this lovely woman, her name is Quinn and we gave my brother a blanket because I think that she saw that my brother was cold. And then after a wild the police man says that he was going to call our mom to say the we was at the police office and that we was okay. And then Quinn walks out of the room and 2 or 3 minutes later she came back with two cups of hot chocolate with whipping cream on the top we drank our chocolate and when the police man came in to the room and he says that our mom was outside so we say thank you to Quinn and the police man and we walked out of the building and our mom was there and we gave her a big hug and we jumped in to the car.
