Outside Reading Post # 3

This weekend I was reading Ripley's Believe it or Not and found a lot of interesting things. Bao Xishun, from China, who is 7 ft 9 in tall, saved the lives of two dolphins who had swallowed some dangerous shards of plastic. He used his 41 3/4 inch arms and pulled out the plastic from their stomachs. I also read that Gaeton Foos, a little boy from New York, had lost two fingers and a thumb on his hand in a car accident. Three years later he had a surgeon transplant one of his big toes on to his hand to act as a thumb. In this book there is also a page on Cholla the horse artist. He has painted several pieces and has even displayed some paintings in several art galleries. A few of his most popular pieces are "Birds in Flight" and "Horse Jumper". I added a picture of Cholla painting, he does it all by himself. All the owner does is puts the paint on the brush. Some of the things found in this book are truly incredible.
