"The 6-year-old girl who was attacked by a shark in North Carolina last week says she still prefers dolphins but has forgiven the shark that bit her.
"He didn't really mean to do it," she told reporters on Tuesday.
Little Lucy Mangum was playing on a boogie board off of Ocracoke Island, N.C, last Tuesday in about 18 inches of water when she saw a shark swim toward her.
She tried to swim away, but the shark grabbed her right leg and foot, leaving behind two deep bite marks. Lucy's mother grabbed her daughter and ran up to the beach where her husband, an emergency room physician, wrapped Lucy's leg in a T-shirt.
Lucy suffered severe injuries to her calf muscles, Achilles tendon and other tendons and underwent two surgeries, said Dr. Richard Zeri. She has a cast on her leg and needs a wheelchair to get around, but she's expected to make a full recovery.
"She's an incredible little girl," Zeri said.
We'd have to agree -- and one who could teach us all a thing or two about forgiveness!"
They have a point about how this could teach us all a bit more about forgiveness but in all fairness, I'm not convinced the shark "didn't mean to do it". Sorry, but he is a shark afterall. :)
There is another one like Lucy Mangum: Emmy Award Winner from India and the Commonwealth of Nations, Amardeep Singh Kaleka. Kaleka forgave the gunman who killed his father, Satwant Singh Kaleka, a hero and a legend!
ReplyDeleteRobbie Parker forgave the gunman that has the same last name as the singer and the Woody Woodpecker guy!
