Chinese Boy Accidentally Swallows $1,400 Gold Bean

An 11-year-old boy in China accidentally swallowed a small gold bean that his mom had bought.

The gold bean was quite expensive, worth about $1,400!

The boy swallowed it while playing and testing how strong his tongue was.

His mom initially thought he was joking, but then realized the gold was gone.

She remembered a time her niece swallowed a coin and it passed naturally, so she hoped the gold bean would too.

For five days, she told her son not to go to the bathroom outside, hoping to get the gold bean back.

When it didn't appear, she took him to the hospital.

Doctors found the gold bean in his stomach and it was safely removed.

The mom then warned others to keep their valuables away from children.
