Sometimes little boys can be in bad moods and not want to get dressed and sometimes they can get into trouble and not even try.

Ask five-year-old Jonathan Freeman and his Mom, Sally. They live in a mobile home where the washer and dryer share the bathroom.

Sent to the dryer to retrieve something to wear, Jonathan crawled up on the dryer, got the clothes and somehow got the dryer door wedged against the bathroom door.

Sally kept telling him to hurry and he kept whining. Finally a tug on the door confirmed his story -- the door was stuck. After all attempts failed, Sally called the firemen.

Since there was no window to the room, they decided to take the direct route -- through the floor. After the removal of skirting, installation and lots of crawling, it was discovered a pipe blocked that route.

Meanwhile, back at the door, a friendly fireman is looking at Jonathan's photo and telling him he is going to be a hero, like on Rescue 911 and other wonderful shows. This particular job may have been easier than that of the moles.

The decision was made -- it was through the door or nothing. Convinced the lad was out of the way, a couple of shoulders were applied several times and a small, wide-eyed, teary-faced boy was visible.

Sally's cost for the operation? Our heroes thought about three dozen homemade cookies ought to pay the bill.
