## Resource

Johnny Mac shares five good news stories: French police recovered a stolen Pablo Picasso portrait worth about 12 million euros during a drug-dealer investigation near Paris; four suspects were arrested in thefts tied to a Paris storage warehouse, and the authenticated artwork will be returned to its owner. Duke University researchers restored retinal function in mice by injecting lab-grown human retinal blood vessel cells made from induced pluripotent stem cells. Gardener Graham set Guinness records with a 3 lb 13.7 oz elephant garlic bulb and the heaviest Swedish heirloom snow pea, adding to several prior records. A purple elephant seal at Ano Nuevo State Park was stained by red algae. At a California wedding, a rediscovered video of the bride at age four predicted marrying “Max,” matching the groom’s name; the moment went viral on TikTok. 00:09 Stolen Picasso Found 00:57 Stem Cells Restore Sight 01:33 Giant Garlic Records 02:09 Mystery Purple Seal 02:38 Wedding Time Capsule Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/5-good-news-stories-happiness-and-fun--5747537/support . 5 Good News Stories is a daily podcast with five positive, uplifting news stories to brighten your day.
