题目内容:
An Indiana mother saved her children's lives by covering them with her own body during a tornado(龙卷风). She has lost parts of both of her legs.
The 36yearold Stephanie Decker said in an interview that she picked her children, 8yearold Dominic and 5yearold Reese, up early from school when she heard the storm coming. They were in the family's basement(地下室) when the storm hit.
“There was wind I had never seen before,” Decker said. “Then the glass broke, and as soon as the glass broke, the whole house started shaking.” Decker made a decision to save her children, covering them in a blanket(毯子) and throwing herself on top of them.
“Everything started hitting my back,” she said, “my children were crying,‘Mommy I can't live without you, I don't want to die, please don't let me die.’ And I said,‘We are not going to die, we are going to make it.’” Luckily they were saved and the children were unhurt. Decker lost one leg above the knee and the other above the ankle.
