There are people who say love can move mountains. 

This might not be physically possible, but Dashrath Manjhi, also known as the ‘Mountain Man’, came quite close. 

In one day of his life, his wife fell while crossing a nearby hill and hurt herself seriously. 

She needed quick medical assistance, but that wasn’t possible due to the hill that isolated their small village from the next town. 

Tragically enough, his wife died from the serious injuries before Dashrath could do anything about it. 

It was the night when Dashrath Manjhi decided to carve a small path through the mountain in order to give his village easier access to medical assistance. 

It was an ambitious plan and he was heavily ridiculed for it. 

But after working for 22 years with the greatest determination and willpower, a path was carved into the hill. 

Even though he was initially mocked and ridiculed for his mission to give his hometown easier access to the nearby town, he finally succeeded 

His life’s work helped to reduce the distance between the two towns from 55 km to only 15 km, so that never again such a thing would happen. 

True Story: Dashrath Manjhi, also known as Mountain Man, was a laborer in Gehlaur village, near Gaya in Bihar, India. When his wife died in 1959 due to injury caused by falling from a mountain, he decided to carve a path of 110 m long, 9.1 m wide and 7.7 m deep through a ridge of hills using only a hammer and a chisel.

10-year old Juliana is from Florida, and she was swimming in a lake in Moss Park Orlando when the alligator bit her leg and didn't let go.

At first, she tried hitting the alligator on its head for it to let go of her leg, but that didn't work. That was when she recalled what she learned in a TV show called Gatorland

The trick was to stick her fingers up the nose of the alligator so it couldn't breathe. Struggling for air, the alligator had to open its mouth to breathe from there, letting the girl's leg out in the process.

By doing so, the alligator set the girl free. She was rescued by her uncle and taken to a hospital where she made full recovery. 

She was pulled to shore and rushed to Nemours Children's Hospital, where she was treated for lacerations and puncture wounds in the back of her left knee and lower thigh, the state Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said. She was back home on Monday, with her leg covered in bandages from hip to toe.
