It's a story that ends well. A little girl, carried off while bathing near her parents on a beach in Antirion, a town in the Gulf of Corinth, was saved by a ferry which diverted its path to come to her aid.

The child, aged between 4 and 5 years old, was on a unicorn buoy, one of those that have been blooming on the beaches in recent summers, when a gust of wind would have quickly carried it offshore, reports Sud Ouest.

When a young girl on an inflatable unicorn was swept out to sea, her parents informed the port authorities and the captain of the "Salaminomachos" ferry boat found and rescued the child! đŸ˜ČđŸš€đŸŠ„ # viralhog #unicornfloat #rescueboat #Greece pic.twitter.com/FJ9FFCXQit
