I had never been so anxious in my life. I had just spent the endless hours waiting for my father and trying to get to the restaurant. However, it happened just because of the carelessness of my father. I hope that such bad things will not happen to me again.
On a Sunday night, my father told me that we would have dinner with my aunt
the next day and that he would drive me to the restaurant at five o’clock. Therefore, the next morning, I wore my favorite pink dress to school due to the appointment with my aunt at night and I could not wait for it. Afterwards, as it was about five o’clock, the school bell rang. It was telling me that it was time to rush to the gate to wait for my father. After twenty minutes, my father did not show up. I thought that maybe he was stuck in a traffic jam so I waited for him patiently. However, after one hour, there were no other students on the campus except me and I still found no trace of him. At that time, I was worried about if something bad happened to my father.
Time went so fast. Two hours passed, yet the campus was still silent except the scary sound of the wind. I felt frightened so I wanted to leave there as soon as possible. I decided to walk alone to the restaurant. However, I just had a meal there once so I could not remember where the restaurant exactly was. In spite of that, I still determined to go there. I walked out of the school and then made a left turn. Later, I walked along the road and guessed what the next way to go. Suddenly, a car passed a muddy hollow and my pink dress was splashed with dirt. At that moment, I was angry and depressed and I had no idea what to do next.
After a while, I found that I came to a strange place. It was not familiar to me and I did not know which way to go, hence I tried to recall the way to the restaurant again. To my disappointment, I recollected nothing and I lost my sense of direction! I began to panic and tears formed in my eyes. However, I knew that crying was no use so I looked around and tried to find help. Unfortunately, nobody was there and therefore I could not stop crying. Just then an old lady walked slowly toward me from afar. She heard that I was crying and asked me if she could help. She gave me her handkerchief to dry my eyes as I related my predicament. Then the friendly old lady smiled gently and accompanied me to the restaurant.
When arriving at the restaurant, my aunt told me that my father was in a meeting so he could not drive me here. However, the worst thing was that he also forgot to ask someone to take me here. Because of the carelessness of my father, I experienced the terrible misfortune. Furthermore, when I turned to thank the lady for all her help, she was gone. I will never know the lady’s name but I will always remember her kind help. I can only hope that one day I will be able to do the same for other people who need my help the most.
