Fishermen think they found a seal on a floating iceberg—until they get closer and realize they’re in danger.

When a trio of fishermen heads out looking for crabs, they see something surprising—a creature trapped on ice, floating out to sea all by itself, in serious need of rescue. They believe this to be one of the usual sea animals they typically see, like a seal. But what it actually is changes the course of their trip—and their lives—forever.

Mallory Harrigan, Ellen Russell, and Cliff Russell own a small fishing boat together. They trawl off the coast of Labrador, looking for cool stuff, and they recently found something that fit that description. The trio, who come from a small fishing village, had originally been boating enthusiasts. Eventually, though, they took the plunge and started their own fishing business, turning their hobby into a profession…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

Mallory and her crew set out that day as they always did—chipper due to the excitement and the chilly weather of Newfoundland. Their excitement kept them alert and aware of their surroundings, which was necessary because there are many dangers to avoid at sea, including unpredictable weather patterns and wildlife.

With their fishing boat, the trio was able to haul in all kinds of marine animals, but fishing crabs weren’t the only thing they got to see while trawling the cold northern waters. The crew caught dozens of fish daily, so it wasn’t odd that one of them would prepare food for their daily catch while others did their duties on the ship. That day, Mallory was on the lookout while one of her shipmates readied the fishing gear.

Mallory had been working at sea for a while, so she was well aware of the dangers that lay in the open water. This sometimes included huge icebergs. Thanks to the Titanic, we all know that even an iceberg that seems far away can be catastrophic for a boat of any size. Icebergs are a common sight off the coast of Labrador, and as the waters in the area heat up, iceberg sightings have actually increased, with large chunks of Arctic ice drifting south earlier and earlier each season.

Mallory and her shipmates stayed on course but remained alert to the danger of the ice around them. In dangerous situations like these, they needed all hands on deck to ensure their safety and to avoid drifting toward the glacial giants. Some of the animals that live on icebergs include seals, penguins, and polar bears. It wasn’t out of the ordinary for Mallory and her crew to witness these animals on their trips. As long as they didn’t interact with them, both humans and animals could enjoy the ocean landscape without any altercations.

But what they were about to see didn’t abide by this code.

On one fateful day, while fishing for crabs, they came across something very different. On a large but rapidly shrinking chunk of ice, they spotted an unusual animal. From a distance, the fishermen thought it was an Arctic seal lounging casually on a floating iceberg. But as they drew closer, they began to worry. It was no seal.

The creature was small and furry, and it looked scared. It had every right to be—it didn’t have long before its icy perch would break down entirely. The crew was scared too because they weren’t sure how this animal would react to their presence.

When the boat got close enough, the fishermen realized they had found a tiny, cold Arctic fox. It was clear the fox shouldn’t have been that far out to sea alone, and there was no way it could swim back to shore if it fell off the iceberg. The team suspected that the fox may have been hunting when something went horribly wrong, trapping it on the wrong side of a glacier’s fissure. Once the iceberg started floating away, there was nothing the fox could do but remain aboard as it drifted farther and farther out to sea.

The trio rescued the fox, which was starving and very cold, and gave it a warm bed filled with sawdust while they transported it elsewhere. The fox was incredibly wary of the humans, but with some persuasion, it was convinced to remain calmly on the boat. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

There wasn’t much food aboard a fishing boat that was suitable for an Arctic fox, but it was clear the little creature was in desperate need of sustenance. Eventually, the trio fed it Vienna sausages—the only semi-appropriate meaty snack on the boat. The fox snuggled down for a rest in its temporary bed and managed to get some sleep. It probably hadn’t been able to rest much on that iceberg, so its nap was long overdue.

In no time at all, the fox began to look a lot healthier—or at least a lot less like a drowning rat. The fishermen noticed the animal’s black skin, similar to that of a polar bear, which traps as much heat as possible, while its white fur provides camouflage in the snow.

Eventually, the fox realized the humans didn’t mean any harm, but it was still wary. Little did it know that these humans were going to take it to a new home—one where iceberg-surfing accidents would be far less common.

The fishermen found a new home for the fox—an old doghouse on the side of a barren hill overlooking the sea. It was the perfect place for the animal, as it was far enough away from humans to keep it safe. The fox seemed to appreciate the small enclosed space of its new home as it sniffed around the tiny hut. Then, clearly feeling bolder than it had atop the iceberg, it began exploring its surroundings.

While this area is grassy in the warmer months, it is covered in thick snow during the winter, which should be perfect for the tiny fox. It’s a shame the fox won’t be able to make its way back to its original home, but considering its iceberg mishap, this might be for the best.

Wanting to get a better look at its surroundings, the fox zoomed up to the top of a rocky outcrop. Meanwhile, its rescuers watched from a safe distance, filming the fox’s first few moments of freedom. Suddenly aware that it wasn’t alone, the fox turned back and locked eyes with its human friends.

It was a good sign that, rather than returning to ask them for more tasty sausages, the fox turned and ran farther away. Clearly, it hadn’t become too attached to humans as a result of its ordeal—which was good for its future health and safety.

Unfortunately, animals like this fox are increasingly feeling the negative effects of climate change, and it’s only going to get worse in the coming years. Scientists estimate that rising sea temperatures will rapidly deteriorate the remaining ice at our planet’s poles.

Thankfully, this little fox was safe and able to dash away into the thick grass of its new home. But not all Arctic animals will be so lucky.

We hope people like Mallory Harrigan and her friends will be on hand to rescue more animals who may end up in danger. But they can’t be there for all of them.

The restaurant was packed with hungry customers busy eating at their tables when the customers’ attention shifted to a four-year-old girl named Kayla running towards her mom. Kayla’s face was filled with tears, and she was hysterically crying when she reached her mom’s arm. While Kayla’s mom, Nicole, was comforting her daughter, she asked her daughter what was wrong. Kayla was still crying and couldn’t speak; she continued sobbing like she was in deep pain. That was when Nicole started scanning her daughter’s body and saw what was wrong.

There was something on Kayla’s leg. Hello, wonderful people! I’m Jamie Buck from Wonderbot, and here is a story about a girl who rushed out of a McDonald’s bathroom crying.

It was during New Year’s Day when Nicole and her daughter Kayla decided to spend their day at the park and buy some food at McDonald’s. It was Kayla’s favorite fast food. The two were so excited to spend time together and bond at the park. While Nicole was closing their front door, she turned to Kayla and asked her if she was ready to have fun. Kayla nodded her head with excitement, having no idea what was about to come to them.

When Nicole and Kayla arrived at the park, the piercing sun was shimmering down on them. It was a perfect bright day to spend at the park. Kayla immediately ran towards the roundabout and asked her mom to spin her. You could hear Kayla’s giggle throughout the playground while her mom was spinning her. Nicole’s phone started ringing, and she turned around to answer the call while Kayla got off the roundabout to go to the slides.

While Nicole was busy talking on her phone, she suddenly heard a scream. Nicole quickly ended her call when she realized it was Kayla. The moment Nicole got off the phone, she turned around to find Kayla had fallen from the slide and scratched her head. She was so worried about what had happened and continued comforting her daughter while she was sobbing. After a while, when Kayla had finally calmed down, she asked her mom if she could get food already.

Nicole immediately stood up and told her daughter, “Yes, of course, dear.” The two left the park and drove off to the nearest McDonald’s, which was about 10 minutes away from where they were. Little did Nicole know that it would have been better if they just ate somewhere else. When Nicole and Kayla arrived at McDonald’s and walked into the restaurant, they noticed that the place was filled with people. Nicole’s attention was caught by a group of teenagers that were seated in the corner of the restaurant.

The group was listening to music while sipping on their soda. Two of the teenagers suddenly turned their look at Nicole and her daughter and sniggered. What could those two be thinking? It was mentioned earlier the restaurant was packed, so it’s no surprise that the line was long too. After what seemed like forever standing in line, it was finally Nicole’s turn to order.

While she was ordering their food, she asked Kayla to sit at the table in the corner and wait there while she was ordering food. Kayla politely followed her mom’s instructions and sat at the table while watching a video on YouTube on her mom’s phone. But then suddenly, a scream was heard throughout the restaurant. A scream came from the teenager that was sitting in the corner of the restaurant. The group started a fight and were yelling at each other.

Nicole immediately walked over to Kayla and comforted her, trying to drive her attention away from the battle by making her watch YouTube videos. Staff from the restaurant quickly went to the group to break up the fight and kick them out of the place. While the group was kicked out, two teenage girls from the circle were still sitting at the table. It was finally time to eat. The smell of burgers and fries lingered in the air as Nicole and Kayla started digging into their well-deserved lunch.

Kayla was eating a Happy Meal while Nicole was eating her chicken burger and some fries. In the middle of their mealtime, Kayla suddenly looked at her mom with a stern but innocent look. “Mommy, I need to use the toilet,” Kayla whispered as she finished the last bite of her cheeseburger. Kayla wiped her hands and got up to go to the toilet. When she walked over, she noticed the lock was shut.

There must be someone in there, she thought. She looked back at her mom, who smiled at her. Suddenly, she heard something. It was coming from inside the toilet. Giggles and laughs could be heard while Kayla was patiently waiting outside the toilet. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

After a couple of minutes remaining, the door opened, and the two teenage girls from earlier went out of the bathroom together with a smirk on their faces. Nicole was intimidated by the girls as she watched them walk past Kayla. Nicole then signaled her daughter to enter the toilet and assured Kayla that she’ll stay outside and wait for her. While Nicole was patiently waiting for Kayla at her table, she heard a scream coming from the toilet. “Mom!

Kayla screamed while running out of the bathroom with tears streaming down her face. Nicole immediately stood up from her seat, not minding her bag that fell onto the floor. As a mother, one thing that you never want to hear is the sound of your kid screaming. Kayla ran into her mom’s arms, sobbing. In the toilet, she says, Nicole immediately went to the toilet to check what was wrong.

She scanned the whole room and thought there was nothing wrong there, so she continued studying to see what could be the reason behind her daughter’s outburst. She saw that there were a few toilet paper rolls rolled out on the floor, and the faucet was dripping. Nicole checked the toilet seat, and that is when she figured the reason for her child’s outburst. When she went to the toilet seat, she noticed that it looked like the chair was covered with a white sticky substance. But as Nicole got closer to inspect, she realized that it was glue.

The toilet seat was smothered with super glue. She then realized that someone did this on purpose. Nicole stormed out of the toilet while her heart was pounding and yelled to call the manager and all employees in the restaurant. Nicole went over to her daughter, who was still crying and yelling in pain. She checked on Kayla to see what was wrong and saw that her daughter’s skin was peeled off at the back of her legs.

While Kayla was still crying in her mother’s arms, Kayla was terrified of what happened, and her mother was furious. Nicole yelled out for help in the crowd while stopping her tears from falling out of her eyes. Joanna, the assistant manager at McDonald’s, thought that she had seen it all, from small fights over a Big Mac to a drunk customer and misbehaving teens. She was trained and was already used to handling heated situations. She knew what to do to solve problems, but in her 15 years in the industry, it was the first time to see and experience something like this.

She had never seen anything like this. The moment Nicole asked for help, Joanna and her co-employees all gathered around Kayla and provided medical assistance. The staff helped in cleaning the wound and bandaging her up while Kayla was crying in her mom’s chest. After that, Nicole decided to go to the nearest hospital, so she called a family member to come and get them. But the assistance that was given to them was not enough for Nicole.

She knew that there was something that she needed to do. Nicole took the matter to her social media account and shared on her personal Facebook what happened, hoping that this would bring the pranksters to justice. On her post, Nicole wrote, “To the two young blonde girls that thought it would be hilarious to put super glue on the disabled and baby changing toilet in McDonald’s, I just want you to know that I still have to console my four-year-old daughter who was unfortunate enough to use the toilet after your little prank. She is hoping that the two teenage girls who played the prank on her daughter would be found and punished. Kayla is just an innocent little girl and does not deserve all of this.

After some investigations, the two teenage girls were finally found and were interviewed by the police officers. The two girls immediately admitted what they did and sincerely apologized to Nicole and Kayla. The two girls said they were regretting what they did and that it was a prank gone wrong. But was the apology enough for Nicole and daughter Kayla? Imagine Kayla, a four-year-old who would have to live her life with this terrible memory marked in her mind.

After hearing that the police had taken appropriate action against the two teenage girls, Nicole felt relieved. It’s been weeks since the incident happened, and the things that happened that day are still fresh in her mind. She watches as her daughter peacefully plays with her dolls. Some justice finally, she thought to herself. She takes a sip of her cup of coffee before smiling to herself and watching her brave daughter playing.

Such a story right? This story just proves to show that pranks can be a fun way to trick your friends, but it can result in a bad scenario. Hopefully, Nicole and Kayla’s experience will remind those people who love doing pranks and tricks on their friends to think twice about the people they would upset all for the sake of a laugh. So next time you want to play a prank on someone, make sure to think about it first and that no one will get hurt.

Black ice (a thin layer of new ice on a road) is dangerous. If you have ever tried to walk or ride it then you know.

This is why the parents of Shelby County were not surprised when they were informed that school would start late because they had to wait for the ice on the road to melt.

Unfortunately, bus driver Wayne Price did not receive the message on time. He had already collected all the children, and knew that returning them to their homes
would only increase the chance of an accident. So instead, he did something completely different…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

Instead of parking the bus and letting the kids play on the smartphone for two hours, he knew he needed to do something to keep them busy.

His actions may not have been according to the book, but they also did not surprise elementary school principals in Montevallo, Alabama.

Understand, they know Wayne. They know he is capable of doing such a ‘trick’.

But the children did not know what to expect. When they stopped at a local McDonald’s branch they must have wondered if Wayne had lost it. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Turns out he just wanted to buy all the kids breakfast, and paid for everyone’s breakfast instead of the breakfast they were supposed to eat at school.

To put things in perspective, there were between 40 and 50 kids on Wayne’s bus, so you can imagine how much the bill came out. School principals responded to the
gesture on Facebook and wrote: “Mr. Price, one of our bus drivers, really demonstrated the holiday spirit! On Tuesday, when school started late because of ice on the
road and we could not serve breakfast, he bought breakfast at McDonalds for all the kids who were on the bus! What a wonderful gesture that the students will
remember forever!”

After hearing every good deed of the bus driver, people from all over the world flooded Wayne with messages of support and encouragement.

What a beautiful thing to do, and what a wonderful way to do above and beyond for kids who he so obviously care about!

If you think Wayne Price’s deed is commendable, share the article with your friends and family!

Books. In a world where technology is everything and media is accessible at the touch of a finger, it is important to remember the vital role of books in our lives.

Personally, it scares me to think of a world without books. Of course, you can read stories online and in digital services, but there is nothing like the feeling of paper in your hands when you dive into another world.

Fortunately, there are those who are determined to ensure that the books remain alive. An organization called the Little Free Library has set itself the goal of maintaining a burning passion for future generations. They say their goal is: “to inspire reading, build communities, and ignite creativity by exchanging neighborhood books all over the world…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

How do they do it? Well, small libraries are popping up in various places around the world, and so far 75,000 libraries have been opened in 88 countries!

And here is where it’s getting cool. One family in Idaho, decided to take it one step further when planning a small and special library.

It all started when Sharalee Howard, a librarian and former bookbinder, decided that a 110-year-old tree trunk near her home would be perfect for a ‘little tree library’.

A magical tree

The trunk of the poplar tree was completely hollow which gave it a magical roof, and it was built in such a way that it resembled something from the Harry Potter films.

I don’t know about you, but this tree is one of the warmest and most pleasant libraries I have ever seen. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

She wrote on Facebook: “Well, this project is not finished yet.. but I just have to share it with you. We had to take out a 110 year old tree trunk, so I decided to turn it into a small library (which I always wanted). Here it is
(with less cleaning, vegetation and pruning..)”.

This library looks amazing, doesn’t it?

Keeping books alive is something that must be done. With libraries like these, we can continue to inspire future generations to take a book and get lost within the stories we all know and love.

Would you like to read a book within this library? If so, share the article with your friends and family!
