ROUGH COPY
The time I got lost when I was a kid was very scary. I remember that
I was out shopping with my mother. She was looking at clothes, and I wandered
away. I saw her across the store and walked over to her. When I got next to
her, I realized that this person was not my mother. It was a stranger. I ran
around the store yelling for her. She heard me and came right over. She had
been looking for me, too. When my mother finally found me, she looked very
relieved. My fear left me as she took my hand and we left the store together.
That was a scary moment for me and for her.
