Once upon a time, in a bustling market place filled with colorful stalls and the aroma of delicious food, there was a boy named Jack. He had come to the market with his mother but got separated from her in the crowd. Panic began to rise within him as he realized he was lost.

Trying to find his way back, Jack looked around and saw a tall man selling balloons. He ran towards him to ask for help. The man listened to Jack's problem and told him not to worry. He gave Jack a bright red balloon and advised him to stay in one place while he searched for his mother.

Jack held on tightly to the balloon and watched as the man disappeared into the crowd. Feeling a bit safer and less anxious, Jack followed the man's advice and stayed in a nearby corner. From there, he could see the different stalls and people passing by.

As Jack observed his surroundings, he noticed a woman at a fruit stall who seemed kind and helpful. He approached her and explained his situation. The woman kindly offered him an apple and assured him that his mother would be found soon. Jack ate the apple and felt a little more hopeful.

After some time, the man with the balloons returned, holding Jack's mother's hand. Jack ran towards them with relief and joy. His mother hugged him tightly and thanked the man and the woman for helping her son. Jack realized that by staying calm and seeking help, he was able to solve the problem of being lost in the market place.
