Old Man Treads on Thin Ice to Rescue Baby in Stroller on Frozen Lake – Story of the Day
Sofia decided to take a walk through the park with her baby to meet her friend, Diane. They got distracted, and her baby stroller rolled over the thin ice of the frozen lake. Then a hero showed up and did the impossible.
Sofia bundled up her baby, Barbara, for a pleasant stroll. The weather was getting worse in Lake Park, Minnesota, but it was still manageable. Soon, winter would hit them in full force, and they wouldn’t be able to take their walks until spring.
She wanted to meet up with Diane and her dog at the park, so they set off. Her first stop was at Starbucks, where she got a pumpkin spice latte and a hot chocolate for her friend. It was a quick errand, and soon, Sofia was in the park with her baby in her stroller.

They agreed to meet by the benches near the lake, where they could talk peacefully. Diane saw them and started waving. Her dog’s tongue was lolling, which meant that they had already been there for a while.
“Hey! I’m sorry I’m late. I had to get Barbara all covered up. I didn’t expect it to be so windy today,” Sofia greeted.
“Oh, don’t worry. I played around with Sparky and enjoyed the scenery. Look, the lake is frozen already. Winter is right around the corner,” Diane commented.
“Yeah. But it’s thin ice. It’s still not that cold yet. Let’s sit down and catch up. You wanted to talk to me about something, right?” Sofia added as she placed the stroller next to the bench. They sat down, and Sparkie followed suit beside them.

Diane started talking about her life, and Sofia responded in kind. Suddenly, the wind picked up, but they continued their conversation. Suddenly, Sparkie barked loudly. “Sparkie, sit down,” Diane commanded, not looking at the dog.
But the dog wouldn’t shut up. He stood up and barked at the lake. Sofia took that moment to turn around and check on Barbara, but the stroller was gone!
“OH MY GOD!” Diane yelled. Sofia turned back and saw her friend pointing at the lake.
The stroller had somehow made its way over the thin ice of the lake. “MY BABY!” she yelled and started running towards it. Diane grabbed her arm forcefully.
“Sofia, you can’t go there! It’s thin ice! It’ll break with your weight!...
