A duck in a village in Neijiang has become famous among local people for its extra leg between its two normal legs.

The 2-month-old duck is no different from other ducks except for the extra leg, which is curled up under its belly. Xu Shujun, the duck's owner, bought it in late May at a local fair. Xu said she will keep the duck as a pet.

Man breaks promise to good Samaritan

A Chongqing man who offered a reward of up to 10,000 yuan ($1,600) for his lost cellphone reneged on the deal after he got the phone back, Chongqing Morning News reported on Friday.

After the man, surnamed Zhang, lost his 120,000 yuan phone on July 13, he told local media that he would pay 5,000 to 10,000 yuan to anyone who found it. A man surnamed Tian found the phone in a yard and gave it to Zhang's brother on Thursday while Zhang was in Hong Kong.

But Zhang's brother said that he knew nothing about the reward, and Zhang said he did not want to talk about the reward.
