Joshua Childers, a three-year-old, wandered away from his house in Missouri and after 40 hours hope was fading. Miraculously the little boy was found by a volunteer searcher, alive and well. Speaking from personal experience I can say that three-year-olds are prone to wandering off, as they find everything interesting. After all the bad news we see this is a heartening story.
“Watching a coast as it slips by the ship is like thinking about an enigma. There it is before you, smiling, frowning, inviting, grand, mean, insipid, or savage, and always mute with an air of whispering, "Come and find out".” ― Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness
