A 6-year-old boy lost in a Vietnam forest for five days survived off leaves and wild fruits before he was miraculously found by local farmers on Wednesday.

Youngster Dang Tien Lam was too weak to stand and covered in dirt when he was discovered more than three miles from where he wandered off while playing with his nine siblings, BBC reported, citing local reports.

The child, who lives in the northwestern Yen Bai province, was enjoying a day in a stream on Saturday when he walked into the hills and vanished.

During his scary ordeal, he munched on leaves, fruit and scooped up stream water to drink.

‘And the more he walked, the more he could not find a way out’

He was finally spotted perched in cassava bushes.

“I’m so tired, I can’t stand up, please carry me up,” Lam told farmer Ly Van Nang, the outlet reported.

“[The child told me] that when he got lost, he could not find his way home,” said the 52-year-old, local site Dan Tri reported.

“And the more he walked, the more he could not find a way out.”

Once he was carried out of forest, he was reportedly offered cake.

Authorities organized more than 150 people, including cops, soldiers and volunteers to look for Lam.

The local department called the discovery a “miracle.”
