    In the heart of the city lived a poor boy. One day, while trying to sell fruits in the marketplace, he got lost amidst the crowd.

    The boy wandered aimlessly through the city streets, his heart pounding with fear. The city seemed bigger and scarier than ever.

    Tired and afraid, the boy ended up in a park where he was found by a kind stranger. She noticed his distressed look and approached him.

    "What's wrong, dear?" she asked. The boy, with tears in his eyes, explained how he had lost his way.

    The kind stranger decided to help him find his way home. After a long search, they finally arrived at a small shack where the boy lived.

    The boy's mother, upon seeing her son, rushed out of the shack. Tears of relief flowed as she hugged her boy tightly.

    The stranger smiled warmly, saying goodbye to the boy and his mother. She left, disappearing into the twinkling city lights.

    The boy, feeling grateful for the stranger's kindness, promised his mother that he would be more careful in the future.

    The following day, the boy was back at the marketplace. He was more careful now, always staying near familiar faces.

    Every time he saw a stranger, he remembered the kind woman who had helped him. The memory brought a smile to his face.

    After a long day, the boy would often visit the park where he was found. It had become his place of solace.
