When the protagonist is a 5-year-old boy, any news can overcome fiction, like the one I read this morning in the newspapers about the rescue of a 10-month-old baby in Palmeira, a city in southern Brazil.
The house where the baby was sleeping was completely on fire when the 5 year oldwho casually I was dressed as SpidermanHe heard the calls for help from his neighbor, the baby's mother.
Without hesitation for a second and with the super powers provided by his Spiderman suit he entered the house, lifted the baby from his crib and took him to his mother, just like in the movies.
Beyond the funny thing about the story, the worrying thing is that the child's fantasy leads him to believe that being dressed as Spiderman makes him a superhero of those who appear in the cartoons. Because it has been in a funny anecdote but it could have been a double misfortune.
Fortunately it was not so and the mother of that baby will thank you for life, but there is the moral to reflect how far children can confuse fiction with reality.
The story made me a special grace because I know a little 4-year-old boy who doesn't take off his spider-man costume or sleep, maybe he wants to be prepared in case he has to save someone someday.
