Watching from Guyana.This story was filled with suspense,I couldn’t stop listening until it ended.Thanks for sharing.Parents should pay more attention to their children and learn to listen to them.
Am I the only one who was secretly hoping that Lily would be Miss Eleanor's adopted granddaughter at the end, and come spend time with her, baking cookies and reading stories together, since her heart longs for grandchildren and I heard her wish when she was sitting alone at the park feeding her birds? She sounded so sad when she was feeding the birds in the park and remembering her family and missing her grandchildren. I wanted her to have that wish come true. She sounded so sad and lonely. And I love that she does exactly that when she saw that Lily needed help. The child cried out to Miss Eleanor for help, because she was being pursued by a predator, who clearly meant her harm, and Miss Eleanor reacted by saying she was the child's grandmother, of all the roles she could have taken, since she was saying this to protect the girl from this vile monster. And not only was Miss Eleanor very brave and astute in how she reacted to this situation, and a hero for protecting this little one from a clear and present danger, she was even CLEVER about it...she knew she couldn't outrun the man, but the man following them at a distance, once Miss Eleanor and the girl were together and creating their excellent facade of being a grandmother with her granddaughter, out for an afternoon stroll, rather than approaching the girl immediately and trying to get her away from Miss Eleanor, says that he doesn't want to create a spectacle and draw attention to himself, and he followed them, probably hoping to get the girl alone again...which says he has clearly thought this out, and means to do her harm. Miss Eleanor, being the brilliant woman she is, recognized this fact, and decided to stop at a park bench and have a chat with the girl to gain information, as a doting grandmother, catching up with a beloved granddaughter that she hasn't seen in awhile, hoping someone would come along and pass them and they could get help that way, and thus, protect the girl from him without risking the safety of the girl and herself or risking a fall by just running away. And she even tricked him when she called 911 under the guise of calling Lily's Mom to make dinner plans. Well done, my dear lady. You are a hero. I enjoyed listening to your story.
While it’s amazing that Miss Eleanor saved Lily, it’s also a reminder that we live in a world where even public spaces like parks are not entirely safe. Maybe it’s time we rethink how we protect vulnerable people and question why we let dangerous individuals roam freely.
This makes me aware that there are no safe places for children. We have to listen to our children when they are trying to say something. Miss Eleanor did a great job protecting Lilly.
Whoever is publishing these stories, I wondered if these are either true stories that you are telling, or are you just a really good storyteller and these are stories you thought out, yourself? Because either way, I am extremely impressed. Its so rich in detail and emotion and you have a very good voice as a storyteller, and I enjoyed listening to you tell your story. I have now subscribed to your channel and look forward to listening to more of your stories in the future. As a storyteller myself, I appreciate this kind of story being told to me. And I say this BEFORE I realized I was only 15 minutes into an hour long story. For what its worth. I WANTED to spend more time with these characters and see where their story went. And he must want this pretty badly, since he had the nerve to interrupt their conversation. But while Miss Eleanor is extremely clever in how she's handling this situation, this man is clearly a fool, since he can't even think up a more creative alias than "John Smith" and he was so impatient that he barely hesitated before he upped the ante and confronted them.
Miss Eleanor’s decision to protect Lily not only saved the girl but gave her a new sense of purpose. Do you think acts of kindness can change both the giver and the receiver? What’s one kind act someone has done for you that made a lasting impact?
