6. When I was ten years old, my family left the countryside and moved to the city. I was very excited because our new house was near a beautiful big park. One day, I decided to go for a walk in the park but I lost my way. I tried to get back but I just went deeper into the park. I looked around me and started calling for help, but no one heard me. I was confused and scared because it was almost dark, so I sat on a bench and began to cry. Suddenly I heard someone coming. It was a girl my age. “Hi,” she said. “I’m Maria. What’s the matter?” I told Maria that I was lost. “Don’t worry,” Maria said. “I live near here. I know the park well.” We walked and talked until we were out of the park. Maria said goodbye and left before I could thank her. When I got home my mum was talking to a policeman. They were both very upset. “Oh, Elizabeth, thank goodness you’re OK!” my mum said when she saw me. “I’m fine now. I’m so sorry, Mum, but I’m fine now,” I said. “You were lucky, young lady,” the policeman said. “Never play alone in that park, it’s too dangerous. Ten years ago, a young girl named Maria Josephson lost her way in that same park and never came back.” I did not say a word. I wanted to tell them about the girl who helped me but I was afraid they wouldn’t believe me. Did a ghost help me? I couldn’t sleep that night, or the next. I never saw Maria again and I never went back to the park! 1. How old was Elizabeth when she moved house? 2. Where did Elizabeth’s family move to? 3.
