Question

    A 3­year­old boy who was lost in the woods for two days is now safe at home with his family. But Casey Hathaway told his rescuers that he was not alone in the rainy, freezing cold woods. He said he was with a friend—a bear.

The child went missing on January 22 while playing with friends near his grandmother's house in North Carolina. When the other children returned but Casey did not, the family searched the area for almost an hour before calling the police.

Police formed a search team to look for the young boy in the nearby woods. But two days went by and—no Casey.

Then on January 24, someone called the police saying he heard a child crying in the woods. Police followed up on the information and found Casey at about 9：30 that night. He was in good health.

Casey told the rescuers he had hung out with a black bear for two days, a bear he called his “friend”．

The police officer Chip Hughes spoke with reporters from several news agencies. He said Casey did not say how he could survive in the woods for two days in the cold, rainy weather. “However，” the police officer said，“he did say he had a friend in the woods that was a bear with him.”

Hundreds of people helped in the search and rescue efforts, including some 600 volunteers, police and members of the army. Doctors at the medical center gave Casey some examination.  He was then sent to his family on January 25.

His mother talked with reporters and thanked everyone who joined the search for her son. “We just want to tell everybody that we're very thankful that you took the time out to search for Casey，” said his mother.“He is up and talking. He's already asked to watch cartoons.”
