题目内容:
Mamoudou Gassama, a Malian migrant, won widespread praise after climbing the outside of the building to save a four-year-old boy hanging from a balcony in Paris. Now he is to be made a French citizen.
Video showed him being cheered on by spectators as he pulled himself from balcony to balcony to the fourth floor.
After meeting him at the Elysee Palace, President Emmanuel Macron said he would be made a naturalized citizen. He personally thanked Mr Gassama, gave him a medal for courage and said he would also be offered a position in the fire service.
The heroic story unfolded on Saturday evening on a street in the north of the city. Mr Gassama said he had been walking past when he saw a crowd gathered in front of the building.
He told Mr Macron: “I just didn’t have time to think. I ran across the road to go and save him. I climbed up and thank God, God helped me. The more I climbed, the more I had the courage to climb up higher.”
He said that the boy was crying when he pulled him to safety and had also suffered an injured foot.
Firefighters arrived to find the child had already been rescued.
“Luckily, there was someone who was physically fit and who had the courage to go and get the child,” a spokesperson said.
Local authorities quoted by French media said the boy’s parents were not at home at the time. The father has been questioned by police for leaving his child unattended.
The boy’s father was arrested and told police he had left his son alone to go shopping and returned home later than planned because he was playing Pokemon Go, an enhanced reality game, on his smart phone.
And the mother was not in Paris at the time.
Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo was among those to praise the 22-year-old’s heroism and said she had called him to thank him.
She described him as the “Spiderman of the 18th”, calling him an “example for all citizens”.
