EVEREST CLIMBERS FOUND
1)Terry and Carla Ellis, the British couple who wanted to be the first husband-and-wife team to climb Everest, are now safe. An army helicopter found them on the side of the mountain yesterday afternoon and took them to a hospital in Kathmandu.
"The weather was terrible and climbing was very difficult," said Carla. "Two days ago Terry fell a hundred metres down the mountain and broke his leg. He lost the radio when he fell and so we stayed on the mountain and waited for help. We were really happy to see the helicopter. We're lucky to be alive."
Do they want to try and climb Everest again in the future?”Maybe,”said Terry from his hospital bed.”Carla really wants to come back next year.I’m not so sure.”

2) DOG WIN LOTTERY! Wednesday night's lottery winner Joe Hall received a cheque for over £13 million yesterday at the supermarket where he works. His dog, Max, who chose the winning numbers, was with him. "I usually choose the numbers," said 28-year-old Joe from Liverpool. "But I never win anything. So this time I asked Max to choose the numbers for me - and I won over £13 million!" But how did the dog choose the numbers? "I wrote the numbers 1 to 49 on envelopes and put a dog biscuit in each envelope," Joe explained. "I put the envelopes in different places in my house and told Max to find the biscuits. Then I wrote down the numbers from the first six envelopes he found - and now I'm a millionaire!"
