SUPER hearing.
US comic book giant Marvel has
come to the aid of a four year old
boy, Anthony, who refused to
wear his hearing aid to school.
According to reports, the boy
told his parents that he didn’t
want to wear his “blue ear” to
school because superheroes
don’t wear hearing aids.
His parents then wrote to
Marvel to see if any superheroes
had ever worn a hearing aid.
To their surprise within 24 hours
Marvel had sent the family a copy
of a comic published in 1984
where a superhero, Hawkeye,
wore a hearing aid after suffering
temporary deafness.
Marvel also created a new hero
The Blue Ear in honour of Anthony.
“Our job is to make kids like
Anthony believe in heroes and
we will do that job,” said Marvel.
Anthony has since begun to
wear his hearing aid to school.
MIRACLE escape.
A four year old boy and his mother have escaped a horror car crash unscathed, leaving rescuers shaking their heads and calling the duo “extraordinarily lucky”. The calamity began when the mother and child were driving through Oberengadin in Switzerland and were suddenly rammed by a 115kg stag. The stag’s impact threw the car out of control and into the path of an oncoming train. The mother then fought frantically to free her toddler from the car before the train struck but was too late, with the train hurling headlong into the car at full speed, throwing the mother clear of the car, whilst her child remained inside. Unbelievably however, the mother was able to pick herself up and run to the car, to find her son unscathed, but a little unsettled.
