Here’s a couple of feel-good type stories.
Missing Utah Scout found alive
Water, granola bars, and a cell phone video game. That’s what a Utah boy wanted after spending four days lost in Utah without food and water.
Brennan Hawkins was found Tuesday near a lake, about five miles from the Boy Scout camp where he was last seen on Friday. Sheriff Dave Edmunds says Brennan was “a little dehydrated” and “a little weak” but is otherwise in good health. Edmunds says the boy was “extremely hungry.” But he says after he’d eaten, and after he drank a lot of water, he wanted to play a video game on the cell-phone of one of the rescuers.
Lions save girl from kidnappers
Three lions rescued a girl of 12 kidnapped by men who wanted to force her into marriage, chasing off her abductors and protecting her until she was rescued by Ethiopian police.
The men had held the girl for a week in the remote south-west, repeatedly beating her, before the lions chased them away.
“They stood guard [for half a day] until [police and family] found her and then they just left her like a gift,” said Sergeant Wondimu Wendaju inKefa province.
Now, back to the regularly-scheduled doom-and-gloom.
