There is an old, Dutch story about a little boy named Peter who saved all of Holland. Holland floods easily, and is protected by flooding by a system of walls known as dikes. According to legend, one day little Peter was walking along one of these walls and noticed a leak. Water was flowing in through a small crack, about the size of his finger. Peter wanted to go and find help, but he knew that, if left unchecked, the water leaking through the dike could weaken the wall until it collapsed. Having nothing with him to stop the leak, Peter put his finger into the hole. He sat there all night, keeping the water inside the dike. In the morning, the townspeople found him. Little Peter, thanks to his quick thinking, saved the whole town. He was just a boy, but his action saved many.
