Three good news stories making the rounds today.
1. Talk about bringin’ home the bacon: An 18-pound ham just sold for a record $10 million at the Kentucky State Fair last week. It was part of an annual fundraiser auction, and all the money goes to charity. A big chunk of the money will go to build 57 new homes for flood victims.
2. A five-year-old kid in Seattle opened a lemonade stand to raise money for fire victims in Maui, and ended up raising over $17,000. His name is Edison Juel. He and his parents went on a vacation to Hawaii this year. So when he heard about the fire, he wanted to help.
3. A nine-year-old girl from Texas accidentally left her favorite doll on a plane in Tokyo. But an American Airlines pilot named James Danen went out of his way to bring it back. He lives a few miles from her, and flies to Tokyo a lot. So he picked her doll, and flew it 5,880 miles back home.
