Most of us like to know where we are and where we're going. It can feel strange to be lost. The words "being lost" make us think of a dark wood or street, 1 that's not always the case (情况).
Once we were on holiday in Venice. My dad planned to go out to take photos the next morning. Mum wasn't2 , but I would go with him, only because I could have the biggest bowl of Italian ice cream if I did.
So at 5 a. m. the next day we left the hotel and started 3 in the streets. When the sun came up, Dad started taking photos and I 4 him, down small streets and over little bridges.
After about an hour, I turned to Dad and asked, "Where are we?" He said, "I have no idea." I felt a bit afraid, but Dad just 5 and said, "We're lost!" I told him to 6 his map or phone. He said, "I only brought the 7. Come on, let's get more lost!" He laughed again.
His laughter made me feel 8 I began to forget that we were lost, and just started watching and enjoying everything that was happening around me.
9, after about four hours of walking around, we were back. Mum asked anxiously (担心地), "Where have you been?" I said with a big 10, "We got lost!"
These days it isn't likely (可能) to get lost with so many things around us—maps, apps on our phones and so on. But Dad showed me that being lost can sometimes be something to enjoy.
