All's well that ends well



Well rescue /Quirky China News
A grandmother had a lucky escape in China after she fell down a 30ft well while looking for vegetables.
Yuhua Qing, 68, was gathering wild vegetables in a remote area near her home in Luoyang, Henan province, when she fell down the well.
Fortunately she was with her husband who heard her cries for help and called the emergency services, reports the China News Network.
But firefighters could not get their vehicle near the well and had to carry rescue equipment on foot - and the woman was down the well for five hours before she could be freed.
Eventually she was hauled to the surface and the woman's fears that she had broken her leg falling down the dry well proved unfounded.
Qing told rescuers that she had been looking for her husband when she stumbled into the narrow well opening which was overgrown with bushes.
"It's just a pity that they couldn't rescue my vegetables as well," she said.
