After quickly taking his jumper off, one of the two men stepped down into the river – which was slippery, bumpy and the water was moving fast.
He carefully made his way across the water towards the lamb, who couldn’t move and was completely stranded. The lamb was a little scared when he approached but soon realised the man was just trying to help.
The man then picked up the tiny lamb and took it where it could not go itself – back towards shore.
Still putting the lamb’s safety before his own, he lifted the lamb safely back onto shore – where it was safe once again.
