An 11-year-old who had learned from YouTube what to do saved a choking six-year-old boy at McDonald's by patting him on the back until a chicken nugget came out.
Practice puzzle. It does not touch your streak or today's stats.
Kept 'McDonald's'? That is the strongest wrong word in the sentence, and it is where it happened, not what happened. Kept 'YouTube'? That is how he knew what to do, and it is the best part of the story, but the five is what he did with it. Kept 'chicken' or 'nugget'? That is what came out. Kept 'patting' or 'back'? That is how. The five says who saved whom, and that takes both ages. This one really happened. Tristen Ewbank is 11 and lives in Roodhouse, Illinois. He was at the McDonald's in Jacksonville with his grandmother, Connie Gansz, waiting for his cousin to finish a tumbling class, and was playing with the younger children in the play area while she went to buy milkshakes. A six-year-old boy on the jumping toy started coughing. 'I wondered if he was choking so I patted his back and a chicken nugget fell out,' Tristen told the Journal-Courier. 'I just did it. I helped the kid.' Nobody had taught him; he had watched a YouTube video. When his grandmother sat back down, the boy's mother came over and told her Tristen had saved her son. Gansz looked the advice up afterwards. 'I just sat there thinking, he was right.' Tristen has autism, his mother, Megan Ewbank, said, and does not usually like touching other people, which is why the family was surprised and, she said, so proud. 'This makes YouTube a bit better.'
