7- year old boy finds “Runaway-Ruth”

 

Ruth Webster, 93. 

 Three moths ago the ninety-three-tear-old Ruth Webster disappeared from the awarded nurturing home “The Friendly Bumblebee” during their annual Halloween Party in Newport, Wales. The news has been all over Britain and there has been no track of “Runaway-Ruth”, until yesterday morning, when a seven-year-old boy, Joey Newprince found her in perfect shape in the woods near his home near Cardiff.

The media has raved about the Ruth Webster case and the nurturing home “The Friendly Bumblebee”. The nurturing home has received thousands of complaints from people all over Britain. Everyone is asking them selves: How could an old lady like Ruth Webster manage to escape such a strict nurturing home with such a good rumour? “The Friendly Bumblebee” is currently being evaluated and is facing a hard time gaining new patients.

  There has seemed to be no hope about finding Runaway-Ruth and no one thought that she would make it for more than a few days. But then, yesterday, a miracle happened.

  Joey Newprince, a seven-year-old boy from a village outside Cardiff, was playing in the woods near his house when he heard something that he describes as “An awful, horrible, sound.” The brave little boy followed the sound and found no other that “Runaway-Ruth”, sitting on a fallen tree, singing the famous song “Baby”, by Justin Bieber. 

  “I immediately understood who she was”, Joey says. He took her home and then called the police.

  According to the doctor who examined Ruth she “is fine, except for a small concussion, and her recovery should be fast and pain-free.

  We managed to get a short interview with Ruth Webster and when we asked her about the runaway all she said was: “Oh, but isn’t it nice with a minor excursion once in a while? I was just so bored of the nurturing home and wanted to feel independent for once.”

  We also spoke with Anna Rimmel, representing the staff of The Friendly Bumblebee, about this phenomenon.

  “This is nothing that we’re trying to cover up”, she says.  “We have been very worried for Ruth, and were afraid something dangerous had happened to her, so of course it’s a relief to hear that she’s alright. We are working very hard to prevent these kinds of things to happen again.”
