A triple zero operator gets a call
" Triple zero how can I help you?"
No one answers, but she could hear
breathing. "Are you there?"
"Yes," whispered a very young voice.
"Can I speak to your mother?"
"No," whispered the voice.
"Why not?"
"She's very busy."
"Can I speak to you father?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"He's very busy too," the voice was barely
audible.
"What is your father doing?'
"Talking to the policeman."
"Ohh, so the Police are there. Can I talk
to one of the policeman?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"They're very busy too."
"What are they doing?"
"Talking to the firemen."
"May I speak to one of the firemen?"
"No."
"why not?"
"All of them are very busy as well."
"What are they all doing?"
"Looking for me."
