                                                          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.

On the same trip I got my first burn, so it wasn’t very a lucky trip. Now I am happy it was summer, because in winter I would freeze, when I was at lost.
