    One day, little Ahmed accompanied his mother to the local market. The market was bustling with people and colorful goods. As his mother was busy buying fruits and vegetables, Ahmed got distracted by the toys displayed in a toy store.

    His childish curiosity led Ahmed to venture beyond his limits and let go of his mother's hand to explore the store, thinking he wouldn't be gone long. However, he soon realized he was lost in the huge market.

    Ahmed felt panic and fear as he watched people pass him by, looking for a familiar face among the shops. Meanwhile, his mother was looking for him in the crowd, her anxiety and the child's worry growing.

    As Ahmed was roaming around looking for his mother, an elderly man wearing a colorful hat and carrying a cane approached him. The old man asked, 'Are you looking for something specific, young one?' Ahmed replied with tears in his eyes, 'I'm looking for my mother, I lost her.'

    The old man sympathized with the child's situation and said, 'I will help you find your mother, don't worry.' The two of them started searching together, passing shops and asking people.

    'Here's your son, ma'am,' the old man said, pointing to Ahmed. His mother rushed forward and hugged him tightly, relief washing over her.
