[1]( ['Act like you're my mom': 10-year-old cleverly escapes a woman who was following him home]( A quick-thinking 10-year-old boy escaped a woman trying to lure him by pretending that a local store clerk was his mother. [ABC 6 reports]( that Sammy Green was walking home from school in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, on Friday, November 11, when a strange woman started following him. The woman "started walking with him and asking him where his family was, asking where his dad was," Sam Green, the boy's father, told ABC6. The boy didnât know the woman but she insisted that she knew his family. She tried to[lure him into going]( with her by promising sheâd buy him âanything he wantedâ at Wawa, a local convenience store that sells shakes, sandwiches and other treats. "She was like, 'I'm going to Wawa, are you going there? What are you getting from Wawa? Where's your family at?'" [Sammy told CBS.]( [Read the story](
[2]( [Woodworker mesmerizes millions by crafting a US map out of each state's official tree]( Did you know that there are around [73,000 species]( of trees in the world? Most of us go about our days surrounded by [trees]( that just sort of sit in the background of our lives, quietly providing beauty, shade, oxygen, a home for wildlife and more, without us giving them a whole lot of thought. But it appears that a whole bunch of us have a deep, latent fascination with trees and wood, based on how people have responded to Justin Davies' unique state tree U.S. map project. Davies, who goes by [@justinthetrees on TikTok]( has spent months crafting a stunning wall map of the U.S. using wood from the official tree of each state, and he has gained more than a million followers doing it.

Thatâs why weâre teaming up with This Saves Lives to help millions of children in need.]( In a survey earlier this year, we heard from youâour Upworthy audienceâthat hunger is an issue you really care about. We agree that addressing hunger is critical. The data shows that [13 million children]( are suffering from severe acute malnutrition so we began to look for ways we could help. There is no single, easy solution to the hunger crisis. Earlier this year, Congress passed [$11 billion legislation]( to direct food aid where it is needed most, and aid is coming from governments and agencies around the world to help curb the crisis. These commitments are amazing, but we know each of you would like to be a part of the solution. What if you could help end child hunger with something youâre already doing? Every day, we make decisions about how to feed our families. As it turns out, some of these choices can do more than simply feed the mouths in our own homes. [Read the story](

Angela Alvarez, now 95, began writing songs at the age of 14 while growing up in 1930s Cuba. She might have not continued with professional ambitions, but the passion was kept well alive. Her grandson, [Carlos José Alvarez]( then went on to become a composer in Los Angeles, combining his inherited talent with a love for cinema. Carlos José knew the huge impact his grandmotherâs (aka Nanaâs) music made on his life, and as Alavarez grew older, he wanted to encapsulate her legacy by creating an album of her songs. Little did he or his gifted Nana know just how far the loving gesture would go. [Read the story](

Foxes exist in a variety of shapes and sizes, are adorable, perceptive, and cunning, and have lovely fur. You want to reach out and pet the fox due to its cuteness. Foxes are known to be cunning and to have a lot of character. This particular fox family is the absolute cutest, with amazing cunning in terms of food. TikTok user @leo.hemsley recently [shared]( an adorable video sent to him by his grandfather. Leo's grandfather happened to offer some food to a fox loitering in his backyard, and before he knew it, the fox brought his entire family to get food. A tiny, timid fox can be seen in the video trying to hide away, with the text overlay saying, "My Granddad gave this little guy some food to take home."
