On Friday evening, our family went to the night market. It was packed with people and very lively.
我一边吃沙爹,一边看卖气球的摊位,看得入了迷。

I ate satay while I looked at the balloon stall, and I got completely lost in watching it.
等我回过头来,爸爸妈妈和弟弟都不见了,四周全是陌生的面孔。

By the time I turned around, Dad, Mum and my little brother had disappeared. All around me were strangers’ faces.

I took a deep breath, walked to the drinks stall, and asked the auntie for help.
阿姨让我在摊位旁边等着,还用大喇叭帮我广播找家人。

The auntie told me to wait beside her stall, and used a loudspeaker to call out for my family.
不到五分钟,爸爸妈妈就满头大汗地跑了过来,妈妈一把把我抱进怀里。
