passport and allowed me to go, but he did not bring the boy‘s parents in. His parents were not
allowed into the Customs Office, so the boy had to wait. Just imagine, how frightening for a boy who
was only 9 years old, speaking no English and was told to stay there waiting! So I said: "No, I won‘t
go unless the boy goes with me or you let his parents come to fetch him." On hearing this, the officer
asked me to wait and after 10 minutes, he came out and gave us the boy‘s passport and allowed us
to leave. I looked at my watch. I had 8 minutes left to get onto my plane. We hurried to look for our
luggage. Just as the old saying goes, "When it rains, it pours."One of my luggage bags in which I put
all my daily neccessities was missing. I looked everywhere but failed to find it. An officer there told
me to go and collect it in Springfield. I had to take the boy to his parents. There were so many people
waiting outside. I could not find his parents. I had never seen them before. The boy was so young
that I dared not let him go alone to look for his parents for fear he might get lost. Finally I had to call
out his father‘s name at the top of my voice, and getting a few stares.
They probally thought I was mad. Luckily he heard me and my mission of taking the boy to his
parents was fulfilled. But there was only about 2 minutes before the plane took off. So we (his father
and I) hurried to the terminal, only to be told the plane had left exactly 2 minutes before. The officer at
the terminal suggested us to take the next day‘s plane for it was already 9 pm. I was really
exhausted. The only thing I could do then was to find the nearest hotel, "Hilton Hotel"to stay for the
night.
The next day I took the first plane to Springfield. My luggage was still missing, and they just
asked me to wait and promised to send it to me the next day. I waited two
but still it didn‘t come. I felt very depressed, for I could not change my
clothes for all these days, and they had begun to smell. But what touched me most was that all the
colleagues in my department tried their best to help me and to comfort me. Fortunately the luggage
arrived six days later. Although the suitcase was broken, everything inside was safe.
