Getting lost in the carnival

When I was a kid, I had a very horrible experience. It happened when I was about 6 years old. At that time, my parents and I went along to see carnival in town. On that day, we went by walking to the place because our house was not so far away.

After arriving there, my father, my mother, and I looked so many interesting shows. I was very happy because it was my first experience of seeing the carnival. I still remember when my father took me to see the magic show, carousel ride, and entered the haunted house. I really enjoyed that night.

After walking around, we rested in a place. I forgot its name, I knew it was a place where a lot of people sitting around eating their meal. Then the three of us were resting there. When I was a child, I was very active and did not like silence. And so at the evening, when my parents were chatting, I went alone to see the clown. I followed the clown until I realized that I was lost and missing. I was trying to get back to the place where my parents were. However, they were no longer there. I was confused and scared. Then I looked for them from one place to another but I could not find them as well. Even I was getting lost. Finally I cried. I was afraid if they left me alone.

When I was crying, someone approached me. Then he took me to a security post. I saw my father and mother there. They looked so panicky. Especially my mother, I saw her crying. When the men took me to them, my parents came right up to me and hugged me. I was happy because I could see them again. We also were very grateful to the man who had helped me, even though I did not know his name. That was a frightening experience that I have ever had. Until now, I still remember what happened that night.
