God helps boy rescue injured farm worker

Jonathan Pounder, a 12-year-old boy from Sampson County, N.C., recently had a day that went from disappointment to heroism.

Pounder was sent home from school on Nov. 5 for acting up in class. While at home, he heard screaming from a nearby field. Pounder, along with his mother and grandmother, went to find the source of the screams.

What they found was farm worker Lalo Rodriguez dangling from a combine.

Pounder's mother told WRAL-TV her thoughts on her son's heroism: "I think God spoke to him to get him down there."

Rodriguez's right arm had to be amputated at the elbow; he's still recovering in the hospital.
