Slicing through trees and letting them fall to the ground is protocol for lumberjacks, but when logger Tony Markins sliced through one tree, he stumbled upon something extraordinary that caused him to continue digging. Before long, he found himself rummaging through the wooden remains like a child opening birthday presents.

But what was he looking for?

For 43-year-old Tony Markins, being a lumberjack wasn’t the most exciting career, and it was far from his dream job. But he was still very grateful for it. The job paid the bills, and his team was great. Plus, it was never boring. Every once in a while, he and his fellow loggers would stumble upon something interesting in the forest that would pique their interest…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Tony couldn’t imagine working a 9-to-5 job, being in front of a computer all day, trapped in an office. He loved spending his time outdoors. He needed to be outside, in the fresh air, doing something with his hands.

The lumberjack knew his job came with its fair share of danger, but that was part of the fun. However, he had no idea how dangerous his job could get.

On a chilly Wednesday morning in November, things started out like any other day, but they quickly became unlike anything Tony had ever experienced on the job. The air smelled like fresh pines mixed with gasoline from the chainsaws. Tony was wearing ear protection, but he could still hear the hum of the machinery that was taking over the forest—much like the humming of a colony of bees.

But he had no idea that he was just a few trunks away from making an extraordinary discovery.

Sawdust was flying everywhere from the chainsaws. It was even sticking to Tony’s forehead, which was now drenched with sweat. It had been a long day, and Tony was tired, so he turned off the saw to take a quick break and grab some water.

That’s when he saw a tree that didn’t look like all the others.

Something about it was ominous. Its bark was darker than the trees surrounding it, and it was taller. The tree towered over him. Then Tony noticed something even more unusual—the tree was covered in strange bumps on its surface.

The bumps protruded from the tree bark in an odd pattern, and they were covered with moss. In all of his 10 years on the job, Tony had never come across anything quite like this before. He took another look at the nearby trees to see if they had deformities like this one, but this tree was the only one like it.

Tony’s first thought was that the lumps were bark cankers—dead sections of bark on branches or the main trunk of trees. It’s a disease that affects many trees, but the infections didn’t impact Tony’s work. Bark cankers were only important for farmers or people who could be at risk of having the rotten trunk fall on their home or car.

So, the logger took a closer look.

Tony hadn’t seen lumps like this before. Upon a second look, the lumps couldn’t be bark cankers. So, he put his gear back on and went back to work.

Tony had no expectations, but he knew the tree was hiding something very interesting. And the tree wasn’t just hiding something interesting—it was hiding something completely unexpected.

It was beyond anything Tony could have ever imagined.

The chainsaw easily tore into the huge tree, much smoother than Tony expected. Before long, he was yelling “Timber!” at the top of his lungs.

Gravity took over, and the tree made a high-pitched crack. Tony could feel the vibration under his feet as the tree hit the ground, making a very loud thump.

This had to have been the most dangerous cut he had ever made.

When the tree hit the ground, it seemed like the whole forest felt its impact. Even Tony’s team stopped what they were doing to see what was going on. Once Tony finally caught his composure, he focused his attention on the freshly cut trunk.

Within just a few seconds, Tony saw that this tree was anything but normal.

There was something unusual about it. The center of the trunk had a large gash running through it, and the tree had made a protective layer around the gash.

Luckily enough for Tony, the rings were still clear, so he could figure out just how old the tree actually was. The tree had to be at least 30 to 35 years old.

But just as Tony was about to move on from the discovery, he saw something shiny that caught his attention out of the corner of his eye.

Tony saw something silver embedded at the end of the trunk’s gash. That’s when his heart started beating a mile a minute.

He couldn’t tell if he was excited or nervous. It was all too much for him.

Tony couldn’t believe what was happening.

Without even thinking, he pulled out his knife and took out the shiny object. It was a lump of metal.

Tony’s chainsaw had just missed it by a matter of inches, almost cutting it in half. Now that the object was released, Tony was desperate to figure out what it was.

He studied it closer under the sunlight before deciding to let his team in on his discovery. He then called them over so they could take a better look.

Tony’s team started to make their way over. As they approached, he took yet another look at the tree trunk and discovered there was so much more hidden inside.

He took out his knife again, eager to remove more objects.

Tony pried out another three metal lumps. He held the objects in his hands, turning them. He then held them toward the sky, watching as they glistened and caught the sun’s reflection.

But he still had no idea what the metal lumps could be.

“Anyone know what this is?” he asked his fellow lumberjacks.

Tony tried not to get too excited, but he couldn’t help but think that he had stumbled across hidden treasure.

One member of his team picked up the lumps and started turning them around, just as Tony had. But they seemed just as confused as he was.

Then, one of the older members of the team joined them—and he knew exactly what it was.

The older worker bent down to take a closer look at the mysterious lumps. Then, he started to laugh.

Everyone stared at him, waiting for him to reveal what they were.

“Someone was bored,” he said, grinning.

Bored? What was happening? How could 30-year-old metal have anything to do with being bored?

“Feel like cluing in the rest of us?” Tony asked.

“Some guys come out here hunting, and if they don’t get anything, they get bored and fire at trees,” the older man said while tugging at his beard.

The rest of the team grinned just like the older member of the group.

Tony had stumbled upon old rounds from a rifle.

While it definitely wasn’t the treasure he had hoped for, that wasn’t the only thing hidden in the trunk. And Tony wasn’t willing to give up that easily.

Even though Tony tried his best not to get his hopes up, he couldn’t help but feel disappointed. But he was more determined than ever to make sure the old bullets weren’t the only thing the tree was hiding.

He was ready to make more discoveries.

So Tony took the chainsaw and kept going with his investigation.

And it’s a good thing he did—because he was about to find the real treasure.

Here’s the continuation of the story with proper punctuation, clarity, and suspense: READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Tony stripped away the wood, layer by layer.

In total, he found eight rounds lodged deep inside the tree. Someone had been really bored—or maybe they were just really frustrated.

But when Tony finally got to the very bottom of the trunk, he discovered the real treasure that had been hidden away for over three decades, just waiting for someone to uncover it.

The tree stump was nearly touching the ground. Tony had finally made his way down to the last layer of the trunk. He gathered all of the bullets he had found in a pile. They didn’t belong in the forest, and regardless of whether they were worth anything or not, he was going to take them out of the woods.

Tony didn’t like having anything but nature in the forest.

But then he found something that changed his mind.

Just as Tony was about to cut the stump clean off, he saw something stuck in the corner of it. It was sparkling against the sun, just like the bullets had.

Had he found more metal?

At first, Tony assumed it was just another bullet.

He moved the shrubs aside and reached for the metal, which was covered in dirt. But when he touched it, it felt much bigger than the bullets he had found.

It wasn’t a bullet after all.

Still thinking he had stumbled upon another round, Tony wiped the dirt off the metal. He didn’t have a clean rag handy, so he used the next best thing—the end of his shirt.

It wasn’t until he saw the intricate carvings on the metal object that he realized he was holding something special.

Tony couldn’t believe what he had just discovered.

What was something this interesting doing in the forest?

This was way more valuable than old bullets.

The metal casing around the object revealed to Tony that it wasn’t just anything—he had discovered something rare.

As if that wasn’t cool enough, the inside needle of the object was still working.

It was as if no time had passed at all.

It had to be survival or hunting equipment.

Do you have any idea what Tony found?

If you guessed a compass, you’d be right.

Tony found a compass—and it wasn’t just any compass.

It was one of the most well-crafted compasses he had ever come across.

He couldn’t believe that the compass had been lodged in the roots of the tree for so many years.

A hunter had most likely dropped it during one of their outings.

Over the years, the rain, snow, and wind must have buried it deep into the earth, and eventually, it became trapped within the growing tree.

Tony smiled, thinking about how old and valuable the compass must be.

From looking at it, Tony knew the compass was old—but he had no idea just how old it actually was.

He also had no idea how to figure out who it belonged to.

He looked over every corner of the compass, hoping to find a name or date inscribed somewhere on it.

But he came up empty-handed.

Not wanting to make a big deal out of it, Tony put the compass into his jacket pocket while his team continued working.

But he couldn’t stop thinking about it.

When he got home after work, he knew exactly what he needed to do.

Tony decided to take it to an antique expert.

As the expert looked over the compass with a magnifying glass, Tony waited anxiously.

The expert wrote something down every few moments in his notebook.

When he finished, he looked up at Tony and smiled.

Then, he revealed something incredible.

The compass was over 100 years old.

Because it was such a unique piece, it was worth around $200.

Tony couldn’t believe his luck.

He decided not to sell it.

Instead, he kept the compass as a reminder of that special day.

Tony thought he was going to have an ordinary day at work.

But that day became one of the most exciting of his career.

Even after facing several setbacks, the lumberjack never gave up.

His perseverance led him to making a unique discovery—and to uncovering a valuable antique hidden away for decades.

Who knows?

Maybe the next time he’s in the forest, he’ll stumble upon something even greater.

A Girl Rushed Out Of McDonald’s Bathroom Crying, Then Her Mom Saw Something Wrong On Her Legs

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.

The bus driver picked up the children early in the morning as usual, and the parents found out they were not at school

Published

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!

Woman turned a 110-year-old tree into a free library for neighbors

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!
