Haeun Stops Still

Haeun came to the market with Mom. The apples sparkle.

Haeun looked up from picking apples, and Mom was not there.

Thump-thump went Haeun's heart. Haeun stopped right there.

Haeun remembered what Mom said. Stop, and tell a grown-up who works here.

"My mom is Kim Sujin!" Haeun said to the man with the name tag.

The man stood next to Haeun and spoke over the loudspeaker to find Mom.

Mom ran over and hugged Haeun tight. "You waited so well, Haeun!"
