Just Alone
"Oh no! My parents are lost,
and so is my sister!" I am alone at a big cement yard where there is nobody
else. There was no one who I could ask, because I couldn’t speak Swedish,
and I was almost 5 years old. We were in Sweden and that country is between
Finland and Norway. The yard where I was, was between the hotel and the
restaurant. The yard was made by cement squares, and there was no grass.
Maybe there were some trees on the edge of it. I just walked around and
around with no ideas of what to do.
We just came from the zoo, and I think I just walked away from my family, without any one noticing. I just walked and walked, and –whoom- I was lost.
I cried a lot, so my father found
me. I cried a lot, and my father tried to make me stop it. First he calmed
me down and spoke with a soft voice. He told me to stop crying, and soon
I stopped crying.
I was so scared, that even today I remember what kind of dress I had on. It was purple, and there were pictures of candies all around it. I had short blond hair.
