A 13-year-old kid in Kansas mowed lawns all summer to save up and buy a dirt bike.  Then it turned out the bike he bought was STOLEN.  So he had to give it back and was out all that money.  But there’s a happy ending. The guy the bike belonged to started a GoFundMe to get him an even better dirt bike.  People online have donated almost $5,000 to help him…

Three construction workers in Iowa used a trampoline to save a kid from a house fire.  He was trapped on the top floor and needed something to land on.  They also saved two other people. All three workers suffered injuries.  One has second-degree burns on his upper body and spent a night in the hospital, but he’ll be okay.  The most important thing is everyone survived.
