Five-year-old
saves family
A five-year-old girl in Canada has been hailed a hero after she saved
her family from a horrific car crash.
After her mother fell asleep at the wheel and their SUV veered down a
40-foot ridge, Lexi Shymanski managed to get out of the wreckage and
climbed up a steep bank to seek help. She flagged down a passing car and
told the driver what had happened, leading him back to where her mother
and Peter, her 10-week-old baby brother were still trapped. A second
driver, a paramedic also helped. Lexi's mother broke her back in two
places in the crash and is now confined to a wheel-chair. Peter had to
undergo surgery to reduce brain swelling.
$19,000 has been raised to help the family.
Kermit
and Miss Piggy break up
Muppet fans were shocked after Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog ended
their long-running love affair. On each of their social media accounts
they said, "After thoughtful consideration and considerable squabbling,
we have made the difficult decision to terminate our romantic
relationship". The pair will work together but their personal lives will
be separate. They are now free to see other people, pigs and frogs. It
seems unlikely that the couple will patch things up.
