Answers
your story can be like that-
Jasmine, Ali and two other friends decided to go on a picnic to the beach. They packed their bags and were quite excited. They reached the picnic spot and came across a small child who was crying. He seemed to be around four years of age only. Jasmine immediately ran to him and asked him if he was alright. He was sobbing hysterically and was extremely frightened. He haltingly told them that he had come there with his parents and cousins. He had wandered behind an ice cream cart and now he couldn't find his family anymore.
You can develop the story using the following ideas:
• The boy was lost and Jasmine and her friends decide to help him.
• They first approach the life guard who direct them to the nearest police station.
• The little boy seems to be very hungry so they buy him some biscuits and ice cream.
• They take an auto to the police station. While they wait, Jasmine and Ali makeup stories to tell the boy and also, play different games with him.
• The police announce the missing child on the beach and send patrols on the road.
• The distraught parents soon turn up at the station.
• The little boy is very happy, but also very sad to leave Jasmine and Ali behind.
• The parents thank them and shower them with gifts.
• Even though they didn't get to have a picnic, they return home even happier because they had helped someone in need
THE LOST CHILD
Jasmine, Ali and two other friends decided to go an a picnic to a beach. They packed their bags and u,ere quite excited. They reached the picnic spot and came across a small child who was crying. Jasmine stopped there and asked the little boy why she was crying. The boy did not answer back but kept on crying. Ali suggested that they should look for his parents. They looked around but couldn't find anyone who would come and say that he belonged to them. There was a great rush on the beach because it was a holiday. Jasmine carried the child in her lap and they went towards the enquiry room. When they entered the room, two men were sitting there. Jasmine told them everything and requested them to make an announcement. The two men agreed immediately. They told Jasmine and Ali to sit and wait till someone came to take the boy. Ali asked the boy his name. He told them that his name was Mayank and he had come to spend their holiday on the beach. Mayank was calm now. He might have realised that he was in safe hands, though fear could still be seen on his face. We waited for half an hour there. Then a couple came there. Both of them were dead scared. But when they saw Mayank, tears started flouring down their eves. Mayank, too, ran towards them and hugged them one by one. He was also crying but this time, the tears were of happiness. The couple thanked us and offered us some reward which we refused saying that it was our duty to help tire little boy. They went away and we also walked towards the beach, quite happy and satisfied.
