The missing girl

          It was a fine Saturday. Mary and her parents went shopping at a shopping centre.  It was full of people. Mary's father wanted to buy a pair of sports shoes for her brother. while her mother wanted to buy some clothes for Mary and her sister.

          While Mary's mother was looking for the clothes, Mary saw a boy carrying a toy that she liked. Without telling her mother, Mary followed the boy because she wanted to play with that toy. However, Mary's mother did not realise it.

          After a while, Mary's mother found that Mary was lost. She was very afraid. Mary's parents started to look for Mary at many shops, but they could not find her. Then, they decided to go to the customer service counter to report that Mary was missing. The receptionist immediately made an announcement and gave a description of Mary.  Mary's parents sat at the counter to wait for her.

          Not long after, they saw a woman who held a child walking to them. It was Mary! Mary ran to her parents and cried. Mary's father thanked the woman for her help. Mary said that she would not wander off on her own again.
