Tim is six years old. He lives with his mother in a small town. Today is Saturday. Tim and his mother go to the supermarket. The supermarket is very big. There are many people inside. 'Stay close to me,' his mother says. 'Okay, Mom,' Tim answers. They walk to the fruit section. His mother picks some apples and bananas. Tim sees the toy section. There are cars, dolls, and balls. 'I want to look at the toys,' Tim thinks. He walks to the toys. He looks at a red car. The car is very nice. Tim plays with the car for a few minutes. Then he looks around. His mother is not there. 'Mom? Where are you?' Tim calls. He cannot see her anywhere. Tim feels scared. His eyes fill with tears. A woman in a blue uniform sees him. She works at the supermarket. 'Are you okay?' she asks. 'I cannot find my mom,' Tim says. 'Do not worry. I will help you,' she says. She takes Tim to the front of the store. She uses a microphone. 'We have a lost boy named Tim. Please come to the front desk.' Tim waits with the woman. After two minutes, his mother comes running. 'Tim! I was so worried!' she says. She hugs him tightly. 'I am sorry, Mom. I looked at the toys,' Tim says. 'Next time, please stay with me,' his mother says. 'I will, Mom. I promise,' Tim says. They thank the kind woman. Then they finish shopping together. Tim holds his mother's hand all the time. He is happy to be with her again.
